Moving a Data File or Folder

Moving data files and folders

You can move files or folders in your personal folder or that have been shared with you with Own permissions. Be aware that this will change the name for all other users who own or have share rights to that file or folder. You also can open a new window and drag the item from one window to the other or use the Edit menu.

There is a limit of 1000 items (all files within all subfolders under the parent folder) per move. If the folder contains more than 1000 items, you can either create a new folder with the name to use, move up to 1000 files at a time until all files have been moved to the new folder, and then delete the older folder, or move them using iCommands.

If the item has been shared

When you move a file or folder, make sure the new location is also shared or it will no longer be accessible to the recipients and will need to be reshared. For more information on permissions, see Changing and Viewing Data Permission Levels.
