Is there a way to quickly move multiple files to a folder rather than copy/pasting them all individually?

    Hi Adriane,

    You can multi-select files (by pressing the Ctrl key) and copy/move them to another folder. The following guide has all the details.

    Hello Adriane,

    If it helps, you could add "Copy To folder" and "Move To folder" to the context menu using the method in the tutorial below to make it easy to copy or move your selected files/folders where you select.
