Copy files and Moving to Folders

[jjuette]

Hello,
I work at a college and I am trying to set up a folder that when files are added to it it copies the files to another folder and also moves another copy to a NAS I was trying to do this with hazle, if not is there a way to do this reliably with automator?

Do you mean two copies? I think you should be able to just copy it to one place then copy it to the other or am I missing something?

I got it to work had to put the move statement before the copy statement, because of the way the logic works. It remains in the folder you performed the last action to. On a separate note, When you set a folder on a mac with write only permissions it becomes a "drop box" and assigns the permissions of owner to nobody and my move, and copy no longer works. Does anyone know of a work around for this?

Thanks

If it doesn't have read permissions, then you can't copy or move out of it. Try reversing the order of the move and copy (move to the other location and then copy to the dropbox).
