+A file organizer is a software application designed to streamline the management of your files. It achieves this by actively monitoring a designated source path, typically a folder, in a continuous loop. When a file emerges in this source location, the program promptly relocates it to a specified destination path based on the file's extension.
+
+Moreover, if the file being moved to the destination folder already exists there, the program takes care of the redundancy issue by automatically deleting the redundant file.
+
+NOTE: if testing with local computer, makes sure to have to have "r" before the paths specified. 
+E.g  r"C:\Users\Precious pc\Downloads"
