Maybe a dummy question, about shared folders.

Hello everybody.
I have a question about monitoring shared folders. I searched the forum, and googled it, but no luck. The scene is this:
I have to leave a copy of some processed documents in a shared folder. The documents and the processes belong to us (I mean the facilities) and the shared folders belongs to a client company. In my work, we monitoring our systems with Zabbix, like servers with the agents on them and Internet accesses. But, the client don´t want to install none agent on their ClearOS server. How can I monitoring with Zabbix, if the shared folders on my client server is available? Actually, we see those folders as network shared folders, accesingg them as \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\folder1 and so.
Is there any way?
Sorry if I´m asking something oubvious.
Thanks in advance.

No ideas? Nobody?

Hello Robtdf,
One way that I have searched in windows is to create a .bat file that makes a dir of the shared folder and dumps it to a .txt. Then that .bat I execute it with a task programmed every X minutes, from the zabbix, I create an item to read the content of the .txt and a trigger that acts depending on the text that retrieves the Item.
It's a little confusing, but it's the only way I've managed to check shared folders on windows.

Sorry for my lousy English.

Thanks for your reply Sancho, I think I get the idea.I will try to do something like you said. I was hoping that Zabbix could do something more specific about this. Thanks again.
