Moving and Rearranging Items

← All Topics

You can move files and folders in Folderit in two ways: by using drag and drop, or by selecting items and using the Move action in the toolbar.

Move files and folders by drag and drop

  1. Open the folder containing the file or folder you want to move.
  2. Hover over the item in the list view until the dotted drag handle appears.
  3. Click and hold the drag handle with your left mouse button.
  4. Drag the item to one of the destinations highlighted in yellow.
  5. Release the mouse button to move the item to its new location.

You can also select multiple files and folders and drag them together to the same destination.

  3. Browse to the destination folder.
  4. Confirm the move.

Moving an item changes its location in Folderit but does not create a copy. If you need to keep the original item in its current location, use the duplication feature instead.
