A Python-based script that automatically organizes files in a folder by their extensions, creating a neat, structured directory layout.

The Automated File Organizer is a Python script that scans a given folder—such as your Downloads directory—and organizes files into subfolders based on their extensions (e.g., .pdf, .jpg, .mp4). It classifies files into categories like Documents, Images, Videos, and Miscellaneous. The script creates folders if they don’t exist, moves files accordingly, and supports recursive organization within subfolders. Additional features include dry-run mode, logging, customizable extension mappings, and robust error handling, making file management seamless and efficient.
