Audience
IT administrators and small businesses who need to know who is using a Windows file share, and when files arrive, change or are deleted
About ShareWatcher
Know who is using your Windows file shares, and be told the moment files arrive, change or disappear. It shows who is accessing your shares and alerts you when files are added, changed or deleted, by email, sound, Windows event log or a command of your choice. Live Folder Monitoring reports a change the moment it happens; polled monitoring covers FTP servers and finds files that arrived while ShareWatcher was not running. Cadence Watcher tells you when a folder that should be receiving files goes quiet. Actions run when a new file lands, including a QuickMove action that files it by rule. The Server licence adds Auditing (who created, changed or deleted a file) and runs ShareWatcher as a Windows service; Enterprise adds remote monitoring of other Windows computers. One-off licences, no subscription: Pro US$129, Server US$349, Enterprise US$749. Free 30-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.

QuickMove
Right-click a file and it goes where that kind of file belongs. QuickMove is a rules-based file mover for Windows. The first time it meets a new kind of file the Rule Wizard builds the rule with you, by name, extension or pattern (regular expressions included); after that the move happens without a prompt. Files that fit no rule get a list of your favourite folders. Every move is in a history with undo, multi-step included. Rules can be overridden or edited from the context menu, can route files into sub-folders by name, and can rename an existing file in the target folder out of the way instead of overwriting it. The optional Automation plugin (US$24.99) watches folders such as Downloads and applies your rules by itself. Works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu. One-off US$29.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.
