This may not be exactly what you are looking for, but there is also
Syncthing[0], which does continual, automatic folder synchronization
(bidirectional, or send / receive only).

The reason I mention it, is because your workflow sounds vaguely
reminiscent of how I manage my photos.

I take almost all photos on my Android phone.  They are synced (more or
less) immediately with Syncthing to my NAS at home (in reality, a small
SBC[1] running Armbian[2]).

Then nightly (automatically, via cron), I run the sortphotos Python
script, which moves the photos from the upload/sync folder into their
final locations in a date based folder tree with consistent filenames
which I call the timeline[3], along with giving them consistent filename
format.[4]

After that, I am free to add descriptions, tags, etc. on top of the base
file name.

Anyway, may or not be directly relevant, just thought I would mention it
just in case.

Cheers,
TRS-80
