Telegram gives you unlimited storage for your files. But it is difficult to categorize and manage files. This Telegram bot lets you categorize your files in telegram. When you send a file to the bot, it stores it on a private telegram channel that you created and retrieves it when you need it.
To get started, you'll need a Telegram API Access Token, and you can get it here @BotFather. Then, replace "TOKEN" with your token :
# Create the Updater and pass it your bot's token.
updater = Updater("TOKEN")
In order to save and retrieve files in a channel, first create a (private) channel in Telegram and then make the bot the channel admin. Then follow this instruction to find the channel ID and paste it into CHANNEL_ID :
CHANNEL_ID = -100 # Shows the channel ID
