FileSystemWatcher monitors the file system and raises events whenever a change occurs in a specific directory or in a file within a specific directory.
This APP can monitor changes within the directory, including subdirectories, and can monitor directories on a local machine, a network drive, or a remote computer.
For example, every time a new file is created, the event triggers a popup window with the file description and date.
It was useful to me because I previously depended on a coworker’s notification when an executable file was uploaded to a shared folder for testing, so if they forgot to notify me, I would find out hours or days later when manually browsing the file system to see if new files had been uploaded. With this tool, I found out instantly.
The technical content and use case explanation are perfect. It’s a very practical and useful example of how FileSystemWatcher can solve real productivity problems at work.
