File Monitoring and Upload via Google Chrome Extension

I am trying to build a Google Chrome Extension which does the following -

1) Gets activated when someone visits my site say http://example.com 2) When someone downloads a file from my site , http://example.com, it starts monitoring that file for changes. 3) If the user edits and saves that file, it uploads the modified file back to the system.

My site is a niche document management system for a particular industry. Users dont want to downloads files, edit and then re-upload again. They want the files to be uploaded as soon as they save on their side. Its mostly for .docx, .xlsx files.

I tried to look at the Google chrome apis, but couldnt locate the appropriate ones. Any help would be useful.

Thanks!

As per your description, I believe chrome.downloads is what you want.

Use the chrome.downloads API to programmatically initiate, monitor, manipulate, and search for downloads.

To monitor, you could listen to chrome.downloads.onCreated and chrome.downloads.onChanged
