Taildrop File Retrieval

Download files from Tailscale's Taildrop inbox to your local Downloads folder.

Quick Usage

bash

~/clawd/skills/taildrop/scripts/taildrop-get.sh

This will:

Check for files in the Taildrop inbox
Download them to ~/Downloads/
Handle filename conflicts (skip duplicates by default)
Report what was downloaded

Options

bash

# Download to a custom directory
~/clawd/skills/taildrop/scripts/taildrop-get.sh /path/to/directory

# Overwrite existing files
~/clawd/skills/taildrop/scripts/taildrop-get.sh --overwrite

# Rename duplicates
~/clawd/skills/taildrop/scripts/taildrop-get.sh --rename

Prerequisites

Tailscale must be installed and running
User must be set as Tailscale operator (run once): sudo tailscale set --operator=$USER
Otherwise, sudo is required for each download

Notes

Unlike macOS/Windows, Linux Tailscale doesn't auto-save Taildrop files
Files stay in the inbox until manually retrieved
The script can run in loop mode to auto-receive files as they arrive

Installation

Terminal bash


openclaw install taildrop
