## Canvas Sync

A cross-platform [compilable\*](#cross-platformness) tool that keeps local folders up-to-date

with online folders on Canvas.

- [Install](#install)

- [Usage](#usage)

### Install

To install Canvas Sync, head over to the [latest release][latest] and

download a file that is specific to your operating system.

For **macOS** users, after dragging CanvasSync.app into your

`/Applications` folder, you have to open Terminal and run

```

xattr -c '/Applications/Canvas Sync.app'

```

in order to be able to open the app.

### Usage

Upon first launch, you have to supply an Access Token to Canvas.

This can be found at your [canvas profile settings][settings].

Click on `New access token` and don't provide an expiry date to make

it last forever. After creating the token, copy it and paste it into

Canvas Sync. The app will save it (locally) for you.

### Cross platformness

Currently compiled for MacOS and Windows, but since it's written with

the Qt framework, it can be easily adapted to compile for Linux

distributions. PRs are welcome.
