monitor a network share

[gpadvorac]

This project looks very interesting, and I'll dive in and see if there's anything I can contribute.

You made the comment:
"I don’t recommend using it to monitor a network share, such as a connection to a NAS."

I have a requirement to monitor network share drives (NAS). Why do you discourage this?

The project uses the FileSystemWatcher class in .Net. I had read that it isn't recommended to monitor a network share in the past. I see that this may no longer be the case as I see this on the actual FileSystemWatcher class page from Microsoft:

You can create a component to watch files on a local computer, a network drive, or a remote computer.

I haven't tried monitoring a network share, but you can go ahead and try to see if it works for you. If there aren't any issues, I'll retract the statement about monitoring network shares.
