Guest Randi Posted November 27, 2007 Posted November 27, 2007 All of my different offices are connected to the same server - or they can connect to the same server. We all have access to a Drive, where we can all save things and all look at them, etc. I am wondering if there is any way to automatically be notified if a new file has been created in a folder? Basically what I am looking for is something that can be used instead of the public folders in Outlook, where if someone posts something there or sends an e-mail to the specified address, it notifies you that there is a new document. My company is not utilizing this feature in Outlook, so I am trying to find another solution. Currently I am receiving large pdf files by e-mail. I then open the files and print, I then used to delete the file. Well I found that I am usually needing to look back at the files within a couple of weeks of deleting, so I am saving 2 months worth - the current month and the previous month. HOWEVER, now I am finding that I would like to go back 2-3 months, so I would like to save the pdf files in a folder on the server, however my server and computer sucks so it takes 5-10 minutes to save these pdf files from an e-mail, due to the size - at that's if it doesn't just freeze my computer completely!!
