To move files

To move a file
  1. In the web client, select the check box next to the file that you want to move.

    Note

    Just select the check box. Choosing the file name opens the file in Preview mode, and that disables the commands for renaming and moving.

  2. For Actions, choose More, Move.

  3. In the dialog box, navigate to the target folder and choose Move.

Note

Moving a folder also moves the files and sub-folders within the folder. To move multiple files at the same time, move them into a folder, and then move that folder.
