Method 1: Using the "Add to Folders" Feature

- Right-click to open the menu and select the "Add to Folders" option
- Or directly use the shortcut key
Ctrl/⌘+Shift+J - In the pop-up window, check the target folder
- Important: Check the "Remove from the current folder" option
- After completing the move, you can delete the now-empty original folder
Method 2: Using the Folder Selection Window
- Select the material files that need to be moved
- Press the shortcut key
Fto open the folder selection window - In the window, check the target folder and uncheck other unnecessary folders
- After completing the operation, delete the original folder that has no files
Method 3: Direct Drag and Drop
