Notifications let you know when something has happened in your account. Have you ever wanted to know when a file was uploaded or downloaded from a folder? If that answer is yes, then you need to know about notifications.

A notification consists of action (upload and/or download) by a targeted user within a folder. When one of the targeted users performs one of the targeted actions on that folder, you'll get an email.

• Events are constantly scanned so the email will be sent out in nearly real-time.
• Notifications cover any targeted event within that folder.
  For example, if you have a folder tree with an 'upload' notification for all users set on the root folder (clients):
  
  Clients/
  ├── Client-A/
  └── Client-B/
           └── Invoices/
                     ├── 2011/
                     └── 2012/
  
  If someone connects and uploads a file into /Clients/Client-B/Invoices/2011/, then you will get an email.

• Folder notificaitons cover connections via SWFT, FTP, SFTP, and FTP-SSL.
• Notifications for shared folders and sent files can be setup as needed too.
