Move files

Move files

Moves a file or directory from a source location to a destination location in the file system. Unlike the copy, the original file is removed after the operation.


Options​

Origin path​

Enter the full path of the file or directory that will be moved, including the name and the extension. Example: C:\Desktop\document.pdf.

Destination path​

Enter the full path of the destination, including the file name and extension. Example: C:\Desktop\Archived\document.pdf.

Replace file of the same name?​

Defines whether an existing file at the destination with the same name must be replaced. The options are:

  • Yes: Replaces the existing file at the destination.
  • No: Keeps the existing file and does not perform the move (default).

Returns​

This action has no returns.

Rules and Conditions​

  • The Origin path and Destination path fields are required.
  • The origin file must exist for the action to be executed.
  • The destination directory must exist; otherwise, the action may raise an error.
  • After a successful move, the file is no longer available at the origin path.
