As Aleksandrov says, you would still have to create the drop-off
each time, but you can easily make the files that go into the
drop-off update themselves.<br>
<br>
Even Windows (and Mac of course) can mount a webdav path as a
filesystem (or Drive letter on Windows). So if you use the "Library"
feature of ZendTo, and automatically upload the correct file every
night to the library location on the ZendTo server, you can create a
drop-off that doesn't involve anyone uploading a file.<br>
<br>
And anyone downloading the drop-off will automatically get the
latest version of the file, not just the version that was posted
when the drop-off was created. When you add a library file to a
drop-off in ZendTo, it just makes a link to the file, it does not
duplicate the entire file (which would be very wasteful of space).
So every time you download the file from the drop-off, you
automatically get the *latest* version of the file, regardless of
the age of the drop-off itself.<br>
<br>
I hope that helps a bit.<br>

I have a customer who would like to schedule the drop of some

later download one at a time.<br>

Has anyone already figured out how to do this?<br>

Do things because you should, not just because you can.<br>
