Hi all,

We've a rather simple sales person and it's causing me a whole headache of issues.

He's a great salesperson just rubbish at admin, so he's employing a girl in our office to do his admin.

Email goes from our server to POP3 on Outlook.com where she can login, sort it out and delete items. The then has IMAP email on his laptop connected to the outlook.com account. That's working ok so far.

Next problem is we use internal software that saves to useraccount\Documents\AW

The save location can be changed each time, however it has to be done manually and doesn't autosave the save directory each time, it reverts to AW. The admin needs these files.

He also has to scan client files and the admin needs these as well.

I've create a OneDrive account and I am going to set the scanner to save in there, but the problem is this AW folder.

I need software that will scan the AW folder every X minutes, and if its a new file or an updated file it is copied over to the OneDrive folder.

Any suggestions? simple and easy as possible before I have to look at writing something to do this.
 
If the folders are accessible in Explorer for example, then Bvckup might do this?

Sorry if I've misunderstood you're requirements :) Bvckup is free so worth a download and check the settings you can change to see if it's any good to you.
 
You probably can change the default Save folder.

What software is it? Might be an .ini or .cfg file or registry value that holds the folder.

Or you could create a symbolic link. This basically maps a folder to another one.
 
looks quite good, it'd be great if it only added files and didn't create a mirror but it's certainly very good. I'll have a play around with it now, thanks.

It's internal software, and the writer refuses to change it due to one salesman out of 250.

Even if I could change a file, it's updated so often it'd be more work keeping it synced than just remotely connecting to the machine and copying the files myself :)
