The Cloud file event trigger is able to monitor file events in various online cloud services:

Different Connections are used depending on the wanted cloud service provider.

Triggers > Add > Event Trigger > Cloud file > Cloud file > Main settings tab

Watch for changes

You are able to watch for new, modified and deleted files. Select what you want the Trigger to fire for.

Reset status when updating Trigger (use current files as base)

This reloads the internal list of files. You should check this if you for some reason change the Connection.

On error reconnect attempts

Let say the remote server you watch gets disconnected for some reason, perhaps the network or computer is down. The reconnect attempts value controls how many times VisualCron tries to reconnect. Default value is 3 times.

On error reconnect interval (seconds)

Let say the remote server you watch gets disconnected for some reason, perhaps the network or computer is down. The reconnect interval which you can specify is the number of seconds it will wait between each reconnect attempt, in seconds. Value 1 to 500 is available. Default is 5 seconds which may be a long time when the network is down and a short time if the remote computer is down. VisualCron attempts to reconnect 3 times by default.
