Start free trialWhat our customers say
“I build my folder on Google Drive, then go to DriveWatcher where I develop a custom template for their notifications. I can add as many email addresses as needed. All I have to do is place the audio file in their folder, and DriveWatcher does the rest. It’s been such a time saver and looks very professional.”
“Instead of our clients giving us papers, we upload the documents to a shared folder. DriveWatcher checks those folders every 10 minutes and informs us of any change via personalised email to multiple recipients. It makes our work more fluid and productive.”
