Moving Multiple Files
- Select multiple files:
- Ctrl+Click for individual selection
- Shift+Click for range selection
- Use any move method.
- All selected items move together.
What Happens When You Move
- The file appears in the new location
- It is removed from the old location
- Sharing permissions may change depending on the destination folder
- Version history is preserved
When moving files that are already shared:
- Internal sharing may be affected by the destination folder’s permissions
- External share links can continue working, depending on how the file was shared
- File owner permissions remain in place
Moving Folders
Moving a folder also moves everything inside it:
- All files inside move with it
- All subfolders move with it
- The folder structure stays intact
Undo a Move
If you moved something by mistake:
- Use Ctrl+Z right away if the action can still be undone
- Or manually move the item back to its original location
