Overview
Free File Monitor is a system utility
that can persistently monitor all the folders
including subfolders for newly added/deleted/changed files.
It lets you easily monitor the software activities
in your computer system. With most specific log
information, you can easily get the timestamp &
location of the incoming files and tell if they are processed
separately or all together in a group. Now you will never
miss what's going on with your system behind your watch.

You can
choose the folder you want to monitor, and then Free File
Monitor will display all the activities in real
time in a list, marked in blue/green/red text.
The filter allows you to customize
the actions & notifications you want to see
in the list. You can also skip the subfolder
and monitor the root folder only. Files
are processed only when all data is completely written,
making it ideal for larger files like movies. If you need
to view the properties of any listed items, just double-click
it. Free File Monitor is the right choice to reliably monitor
an unlimited number of folders.

file/database servers and application's log files.
