Can EndNote continuously monitor a local folder for pdfs?

EndNote EndNote General
1

I am wondering if EndNote has a “Watch Folder” feature as in Mendeley. I store all my pdfs in a folder (with subfolders) and do not want to import this directory each time EndNote starts. Is there a feature where I can specify folders that EndNote will monitor for addition/deletion of files.

I am using Windows 7 and EndNote X6.

Thanks

Hello,

Currently, EndNote does not feature such an option.

However, you can certainly submit it as a product suggestion.  Many of the improvements to our software start out as product suggestions, and each suggestion is taken seriously (even if you don’t get a reply back).

This is going to be the best way to bring your desired EndNote functionality to our attention.

I hope this helps.

Thanks!
