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.

FileToFolder
FileToFolder
Create a folder from a file, and put it back, from the right-click menu. Select one file or many in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose FileToFolder: each file gets a folder named after it and is moved inside. FolderToFile does the reverse: it pulls files out of their folders into the current one, from sub-folders too if you want, and deletes the empty folders it leaves behind. Dissolve moves a folder's contents up one level and removes the folder. It works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu with no "Show more options" step, and as a normal application with command-line options for scripts. One-off US$19.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a fully functional 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support, answered within 24 hours. Made in Australia; current release 7.3, September 2026. Need rules-based moving as well? That is QuickMove, from the same people.
