I am looking for freeware/open source application which can monitor the shared folder on local network. I did use some freeware application , but forgot its name.

I Would like to see who are all currently using that particular folder and even get notified when changes happen.

  • What do you want exactly? See which folder are shared on the network? Or be warned when the content of a shared folder changes?

If you're looking for a tool to alert you when someone is accessing your shared folders, see this article:
Monitor and Notify when Shared Folders being Accessed

Or this article for a tool that can tell what file the user is actually accessing and can log it down for future reference:
Track Who Modified or Deleted Files in Your Shared Folder

Read the Globinch.com article on good tools to Monitor Shared Folders and Network Folders in Windows and Get Notified

Quote from the article:

Using “Computer Management” you can easily find out who is accessing your Shared Folder.

How do you access “Computer Management”?.

  • Go to Control Panel -> Performance and Maintenance -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
  • Or Right Click My Computer – > Manage -> Computer Management

Expand the “Shared Folders“. Here you can see shares, sessions and open files.
