# Download-Sorter
This Python script automatically organizes files downloaded to your Downloads folder into specific subfolders based on their file types. It uses the watchdog library to monitor the Downloads directory and move files to appropriate subfolders as soon as they are downloaded. I made this since I used to download a lot of items in schoolwork so I thought of making this script to make it easy for me to locate items.
Version 1.0.0
## Features
Automatically creates required subfolders if they don't exist.
Monitors the Downloads folder for new files and moves them to subfolders based on their file extensions. Handles a variety of file types, including:
Zips: .zip
CSV: .csv
Pics&Images: .jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .bmp
PDFs: .pdf
Docs: .doc, .docx, .odt
Music: .mp3, .wav, .ogg
Others: Any other file types
## Installation
1. **Clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/file-organizer.git
cd file-organizer
```
2. **Install the required packages:**
```bash
pip install watchdog
```
## Usage
Run the script to start organizing your files using Python 3:
```bash
python file_organizer.py
```
The script will automatically create the required folders in your Downloads directory if they do not already exist. It will then monitor the Downloads folder and move files to their appropriate subfolders as they are downloaded.
## Updates
1.0 Base Sorting works will update soon
