In BIM360 Docs it's possible to subscribe to specific folders and get notified upon certain action:
According to BIM360 Knowledge Network, a user can subscribe to folders and sub-folder to receive notification when files are added.

Note: Own user actions are excluded from the notification logic.
In this case, the user receives a notification via e-mail:
Note: Please check Junk Mail folder! (sometimes notifications may land up there and it's required to click on "Safe Senders List")
For now, only the upload of new files or versions is taken into account. Still, there are some ideas for improvement, which could bring added value:
- It would be also helpful to extend the existing functionality by different additional actions. See examples below:
- Change custom attribute values
- Create folders
- Move files
- Rename files or folders
- Lock files
- Create Markups on files
- etc.
- Further, it would be good to have the notification frequency (instantly, hourly, daily) configurable - similar to Issue:
- Ability for Project Admins, to easily see who is subscribed to which folder/sub-folder in BIM360 Docs. It would also be nice if Project Admins could set folder subscriptions for whole project teams or on any criteria (e.g. role, company level).
