ProxSys Media Upload Utility
3.Select the type of file being uploaded from the dropdown menu.
4.Click Add Watchfolder to save the watch. The watch is listed in the Watchfolder pane.
When storage media matching the Device watch criteria is inserted into a reader, a system message is sent out, the upload utility receives the message and initiates the upload/ingest. The utility upload message window, Transfer content to your ProxSys, appears. The upload occurs automatically: no actions are required.
Watchfolder Function Is Active Only When Media Upload Utility Is Running
The Watchfolder is a function of the Media Upload Utility, not the MA server. Watchfolder is active only while the upload utility is running. If it is necessary for Watchfolder to run 24 x 7, the upload utility must be allowed to run continuously, in the background.
Configuring Watch Settings
There are three watch settings located in the CONFIGURATION window.
•Delete local content after upload
•Transfer already existing content
•Wait for copy completion
For more information about these settings, see Wait for copy completion in Minutes on page 19.

Watches are editable.
1.Select the watch to edit from the list in the My Watchfolders pane. The watch settings display in either the Folder or Device watch areas.
2.Change any of the settings.
3.Click Modify selected to save the changes.
The changes appear in the watch item in the MyWatchfolders pane.
