Telegram uploader UI

  Root folder example

Inspiration

As a guy passionate about drone one day i came into FPV drone and i felt in love with them. I like to drive them everywhere and every time i'm free. The problem was that after recording a lot of videos i started to have a few hundreds of Gb of videos of me just driving and learning. Instead of trash them i decided to create a software that allow to upload them to Telegram to keep them and be able to watch them whenever i want without filling my HDD
