To Add or Remove a Network Watched Folder to Autodesk Content Service

  1. On the network computer containing the folder you want to watch, start Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder that you want to add.
  2. Right-click the folder and select Properties.
  3. Click the Sharing tab and verify that the folder is set to Shared. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box.
  4. Open the Content Service Configuration Console.
  5. If there is not one already, type a name into the Display Name box.

    This name will be displayed when selecting a content provider in Content Explorer.

  6. Click Add Watched Folder.
  7. In the Select Watched Folder dialog box, select the folder you shared in step 3 and click OK.

    The Edit Watched Folder dialog box opens.

  8. Under Access, select Public.
  9. In the Select Shared Folder dialog box that opens, select the shared folder again and click OK.
  10. Click OK to close the Edit Watched Folder dialog box.

    The public watched folder can now be accessed by other Content Explorer users that connect to this Content Service.

  11. To remove a folder from the watched list, right-click the folder and select Remove.
  12. To refresh the watched folders list at any time, click Refresh.
Note: This procedure refers to a folder on a network computer running Autodesk Content Service. You can accomplish the same thing with a local folder using the Content Explorer Configuration Console, so that other Content Explorer users on your network can search your folder.
