Guilty as Charged!

Most System Admins have experienced users accidentally moving folders while navigating through Windows Explorer quickly.

 

This can make it challenging to locate the folder in its new location.

 

However, there is a solution to prevent this from happening again, and it is Directory Defender.

Be on the Lookout!

Directory Defender monitors any folder moves, renames and deletes and displays an error message to prevent such action.

​

Stop unintentional folder moves, renames and deletes from happening before they start.

​

Filter protection by folder and file type. You can also choose to block whether the request came from the network or locally.

​

Exclude users and groups from blocking folder and file moves, renames and deletes.

Easy as 1-2-3!

Download and install Directory Defender in minutes. Setup is as easy as...

​

  1. Add your shared local folder (D:\SharedData) to the Defend Moves, Defend Renames and Defend Delete tabs.

  2. Configure your email settings so Directory Defender can email you when a user has been blocked from moving, renaming or deleting a folder or file.

  3. Watch how well Directory Defender protects your shared folders.
