[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1803214, member: 131855"] Guys, just throwing an idea out there. I don't have time to test this at the moment and won't jave time before late Tursday/early Friday at the earliest. I wonder if a folder action would work. In short the process might go something like this: 1. Create a folder somewhere convenient such as on the Desktop. Give it a name like "Work In Progress" or anything else memorable for that matter. This becomes the watch folder that causes the folder action to run. 2. Attach an Automator workflow to the folder that runs when things are added to that folder. I've seen workflows that save when you drop a file into the folder but I am not sure the action would run if you simply save files to the watch folder. Building on the Dropbpx idea, is [URL="https://www.imore.com/how-sync-your-documents-desktop-and-any-other-folder-dropbox"]this[/URL] what you had in mind Ashwin? [/QUOTE]
