Coding Snacks / Folderwatch (a MAC application) for PC's
« on: October 27, 2014, 02:39 PM »
I found exactly what i needed in FolderWatch, unfortunately, it is for Mac's only. The concept behind it is so simple that I felt sure there had to be a "built-in" method to accomplish the same thing in Windows 8.1. After playing with various settings in "Libraries" (none of which worked) I though i would see if someone here has already written the App
The need is pretty simple. I want to make any changes done to files in the "Documents" folder occur simultaneously in another folder on the same drive. Basically a "local" version of Sync.
Changing the location that the "Documents" folder points to still leaves me with only one copy of each file.
Without making an edit to any of the applications that use it, is there a way to make "Documents" , "Pictures", etc work so that they have a real-time "clone" in another location on the same drive
