FAX: One line multiple computers with shared folder
Hello,
I have a one and only fax line and have three employees currently and three employees have managed three job duties, so I try to set up a network folder so all the incoming faxes should go to that folder and everybody can have that folder this is because of not missing a single incoming fax. Currently, using M521 printer for fax

I am really sorry !!, this is not my answer, I already know the above steps for creating a shared/network folder. But my question is I have on fax line and the number is 281******** and have three employees and those three employees sharing that only fax machine and number and all the incoming faxes are printing though that fax machine, now my requirement is I do not want to print any faxes so all the incoming faxes directly go to one folder on each employee computer.
Simply one fax number/fax machine, the incoming faxes should go to three computers. This is like group email for example if I email [email protected], whoever in that group all the employees received the email and only one employee respond to that. I want similar setup in the FAX.
