Notify of New Document?

[Guest Randi]

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!!

Perhaps something like this?

http://www.dd-soft.com/file-folder-watch/

 

Do a Google search for: folder watcher

You will see the above and many more that should meet your needs.

Thanks!! That is what I need. After I posted this yesterday I was going to

check cnet.com but got busy with something else and totally forgot!

 

Thanks again for the help!
