Bulk File and Folder Move for Workspaces

Workspace collaborators can now easily rearrange multiple files and folders within a Workspace using the “Move” menu option. Simply select the items you wish to move and choose the destination folder or sub folder. The new move feature is available for collaborators with Contributor, Owner or Manager roles.

To begin, check the box next to the files and folders to be moved. Selecting items automatically displays the Move menu option.

Select - Move-1

Clicking the Move option displays the Workspace folder hierarchy. You can navigate both up and down the folder listing to select your destination folder.

A progress tracker reports the status of the move and whether any duplicate files or folders exist in the destination folder.

Frequently asked questions

How do I move multiple files between folders in a SendSafely Workspace?

Check the boxes next to the files and folders, which displays the Move option. Click Move, navigate the folder hierarchy to choose a destination, then click the Move button.

Who can move files in a SendSafely Workspace?

In the 2020 release, the Move feature was available to collaborators with the Contributor, Owner or Manager roles. Collaborators in other roles could not rearrange files and folders with the Move option.

What happens if a file with the same name already exists in the destination folder?

The move progress tracker reports duplicates and prompts you to Replace or Skip each one. You can optionally apply that choice to all subsequent duplicates.

Can I cancel a Workspace move in progress?

Yes. You can cancel the move by clicking the Cancel button while the progress tracker is running. The tracker also reports the move’s status and any duplicate files or folders found in the destination.
