Important:
This will not apply on sub-folders. If you want it applied on sub-folders as well, you'll have to create a Cron Rule for that particular sub-folder.
If you've used the "Synchronize files" feature, the files database entries will be created and the Cron Rules only works for new files not yet synchronized.
Log tab
The Log tab displays a list with files / folders added in the folder setup above, using this Cron rule.
