# Moving files - Folderline 1.x documentation

> Drag files onto folders in the grid or the list, move a selection at once, use the bulk action or a file's Folder field.

A file is in one folder at a time. Putting it in a folder takes it out of the one it was in; putting it in **Unsorted** takes it out of every folder.

## Drag files in the grid

In the grid view, drag a file's thumbnail onto a folder in the tree. The folder is outlined while you're over it; let go to move the file.

To move several files at once:

1. Click **Bulk select** above the grid.
2. Click the files you want.
3. Drag any of the selected files onto a folder. All the selected files go together.

## Drag files in the list

In the list view, drag a row onto a folder. Tick the checkboxes of several rows and drag one of them to move them all.

The list has a **Folder** column showing where each file is. Click a folder's name there to open it.

## Move to folder (bulk action)

In the list view:

1. Tick the files to move.
2. Choose **Move to folder** in the **Bulk actions** dropdown. A second dropdown appears next to it.
3. Choose the folder (or **Unsorted (no folder)**) and click **Apply**.

## A file's Folder field

Every file's details have a **Folder** field: in the Media Library (click a file in the grid), in media pickers, and on the **Edit Media** screen. Choose a folder there to move the file. In the Media Library and media pickers it's saved as soon as you choose; on the Edit Media screen, click **Update**.

This works everywhere, without dragging, so it's handy on touch screens.

## What you can move

You can move files you're allowed to edit. Administrators and editors can move any file; authors their own uploads. If you drag a mix, the files you can't edit stay where they are and Folderline tells you how many were skipped.
