Store incoming faxes to a network share
Received faxes can be stored in a shared folder. An email with a link to the saved fax is sent to the configured routers.
When receiving a fax on a routing rule that uses this option, GFI FaxMaker creates a sub-folder in the share as follows:
<network share path configured>\yyyy_mm\dd\
Where:
- <network share path configured> - the shared folder where received faxes are stored
- yyyy - year
- mm - month
- dd - day
Step 1: Create network share
Create a shared folder with:
- Full access to the GFI FaxMaker account (user credentials specified during installation) in order to be able to save faxes.
- Read permissions to all users that will be accessing faxes on this share.
NOTE
For security reasons, only fax recipients can access stored faxes. For example faxes routed to John Doe, are only accessible by John Doe.
Step 2: Configure GFI FaxMaker
Specify the network share where routing rules with network sharing enabled store faxes.
1. In GFI FaxMaker Configuration, right-click RoutingThe methods used by GFI FaxMaker to determine how to route faxes to internal recipients. and select Properties.
2. Select the Network Share tab.
3. Specify the network share path (for example, \\MyServer\MyFaxes
).
NOTE
Enter share in UNC format so that users can access it through the network.
4. Click Apply.
