Move files from my computer

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by 36

Hello! 
I would like to move a file from one folder using their path to another folder.

For example, I have the folder1/folder2/file.txt path that I want to move to the folder3/folder4/folder5 path.
I tried with File System, but "Get file using path" does not work with folders.

Thanks!

    Hello,

     

    Are you referring to PA Desktop?

     

    I am not sure what you mean by it doesnt work with folders? Is this a Mac or PC?

    Hi @Chi3 

     

    Use move file to move the file from one folder to another 🙂

    Hello @Chi3 

     

    I either use

    or 

    FLMike_1-1695647814308.png

     

    This can work with System files etc and the desktop or anywhere else. One of these should do what you need. Please let me know.
