=====================================================================
Post to-phone-propagation steps => EDIT ME (optionally).

This script is run automatically by an import at the end of the 
initial-copy and sync-changes phone scripts.  Hence, any code you 
add here will be run after all to-phone content propagations.  

Example: if you are storing content in Termux's app-specific 
storage for its speed, you may wish to copy select content to 
shared storage (/sdcard) so it can be accessed from other apps. 

This can be used only to copy to shared storage; Termux cannot
access other apps' storage in Android 11 (and vice versa).

See _README.html for license, attribution, version, and docs.

# Example: copy calendar ICS files to shared storage for use by 
# the Frigcal tkinter GUI run in the Pydroid 3 app.  Py apps do
# not normally have access to other apps' app-specific storage.
# Or: run Frigcal in shared Download/ and keep calendars there.
#
# print('\nCopying calendar content to shared storage')
# arch = '%s/%s/Code/frigcal/Calendars' % (TO, STUFF)
# live = '/sdcard/Downloads/Frigcal-source/Calendars'
# if os.path.exists(live):
#     shutil.rmtree(live)
# shutil.copytree(arch, live)   # copies metadata too

# Example: sync music up for use by Folder Player; or share with
# a shuffling player, or open in CX file explorer's player, or... 
#
# print('\nSyncing MP3s to shared storage')
# shared = '/sdcard/Music/Jazz'
# if not os.path.exists(shared): 
#     os.mkdir(shared)

# But this doesn't work: Termux cannot access other apps' storage,
# so this requires a manual file-explorer copy (or Android 10).
# Update: some explorers spawn HTTP servers or use content URIs 
# on Android 11 that work as well as this for local-file views.
