Notifcations

Notifcations

Notifications let you know when files have been uploaded and/or downloaded into specific folders on your account. Notifications consist of:

  • An action (upload and/or download)
  • …executed by a targeted user
  • … within a specified folder.

When one of the targeted users performs one of the targeted actions on that folder, you'll get an email. In addtion:

  • 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 sharespaces and sent links can be setup as needed too.
