Google Cloud Pub/Sub allows you to receive real time notifications through Google Cloud about file activity for potential follow-up actions. For more detail, see Google's documentation.

Managing Google Pub/Sub Notifications

All Site Administrators, as well as users with admin rights to at least one folder, can manage Google Pub/Sub notifications.

Site Administrators can manage all notifications. Other users can only manage the notifications that they have permission to manage.

Creating a Google Pub/Sub Notification

Before you can create the Google Cloud Pub/Sub notification in your Files.com site, you must first create a topic within Google Cloud Pub/Sub.

Define your new notification, for the desired folder in Files.com, and provide your Project ID, Topic ID and the Google Credentials JSON Key for a user who has permission to publish to the topic.

You can use the Limit to a specific folder setting to only trigger the notification when actions happen in certain folders. Your site does not monitor actions on remote servers. Activity that takes place on a Remote Server Mount will not trigger a notification, even if that mounted folder is within the folder you chose. If you require a notification for files being uploaded to a mounted folder, use a Remote Server Sync to pull files from the mount into a non-mounted folder instead.

By default, notifications will trigger for any file or folder action (create, read, update, delete, move, or copy) within the configured folder. You can limit which actions will trigger notifications by choosing the Only trigger on specific actions option, and selecting the specific actions you would like.
