Lazily Move Files

Move File There is the best way to move files for macOS. It has been developed to provide a consistent and fast experience, especially when moving files in large directories. Dedicated source directories allow resuming from previous file move sessions. A dynamic file view provides a list, grid, or gallery layout to see files. Customizable folder destinations give unique control to users, so you can move files with ease. After moving a file the app automatically selects the next file, so at times you may only need to click one button (Move button).

How To Use Move File There for macOS:

  1. Startup app.
  2. In the upper left corner of the app window, click the + button. Navigate to a desired folder containing files. With the folder selected, click "Open".
  3. The added folder will appear in the left-side navigation list. Repeat process for adding new folders. Folders containing files can also be dragged/dropped onto the left-side navigation area to be added.
  4. Click the newly added folder. The "Files to Move" section will populate and list out any files contained in the chosen folder.
  5. Click the + button in the upper right corner of the app's window, toolbar area. Navigate to the desired folder, where you would like to "move" file(s) to. These folders are known as "Move Locations". You can also drag and drop folders into the Move Locations area.
  6. To complete a "move" operation, select a file from the middle "Files to Move" area, then click the "Move" button for the desired "Move Locations" folder. This will complete a macOS "move" operation, moving the file from the source folder to the destination folder.
  7. Upon move completion, if user needs to "return" the file back to the source, 3 dots will appear next to the Move Location's folder. Under the 3 dots, will list out all files moved to that location. Clicking the listed file there will return the file back to the source. This list will not "persist" through other source directory navigations nor app restarts.
  8. To see all "Move Locations" added within the app, even locations added under different Source Directories, use the 3 dots next to the "Move Locations" top title, called "Show All Locations".
  9. Added folders under the "Move Locations" area each have right-click options, one option called "Pin" will allow the folder to stay "pinned" to the top of the list, even if alternate sort methods are changed.
