How to move or copy multiple files and folders

Looking to move or copy several files into a folder? Here's how it's done.

NOTE: This video shows a slightly older user interface but the instructions are still accurate.

To get started moving or copying files on your iPad or iPhone, tap the File Browser on the Top Menu.

Mac Users: To learn more about file storage on your Mac, click here.

Next, we're going to select the file(s) that you want to move or copy. Tap ..., and then tap Select.

To make your selection, tap the checkboxes next to the individual files or folders.

With your selections made, tap either Copy or Move.

NOTE: When working with cloud providers on iPad and iPhones, Move is limited to single files. To relocate multiple files and folders to cloud use Copy instead.

From within the center window, navigate to the new location of the files or folders and tap Select.

Your documents have been successfully moved or copied to their new location!
