FilesLoaderBot

A bot that downloads any media file sent to it and then re-uploads it back to the chat.

Functionality

For every message containing a file (photo, video, audio, document, sticker, animation, voice, video note, etc.), the bot downloads the file to a local directory, then sends the file back to the chat. Media groups are expanded and each file is re-sent individually. While processing, the bot sends an appropriate "upload" chat action (e.g., uploading video, uploading photo).

Arguments

1	`BOT_TOKEN`	Telegram bot token
2 (optional)	`/path/to/dir`	Directory where files are saved (defaults to `/tmp/`)

Optional flags (any order after the token):
