Taildrop File Retrieval
Download files from Tailscale's Taildrop inbox to your local Downloads folder.
Quick Usage
~/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
# 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
