XangleCS/Sharing (watchfolder)

The Ultimate Add-On for Seamless Photobooth Sharing & Processing

XangleCS/Sharing is a watch folder companion to your existing photobooth workflows, built for high-performance file handling, elegant user interaction, and effortless multi-monitor integration. 

✅ What It Does

• Plug-and-Play Compatibility: Just set your camera(s) to drop files into our monitored folder, XangleCS/Sharing will instantly process photos or videos as they arrive.
• Works Alongside Xangle Camera Server: Use it to extract specific frames (e.g., frame 6 out of a 12-camera array) and reprocess them with unique formats or branding.
• Multi-Booth Integration: Route multiple photobooth inputs to a single touchless sharing station, or scale up with multiple replay and sharing stations (up to 6), all networked together.
• Fill the Gaps in Other Software: Add features like QR code sharing, auto-replay, network based sharing stations & preview monitors, video effects, custom forms, and more, even if your main booth software doesn’t support them.
