Files & Folders
File Move
Moves the file each row names into another folder: copied there, then removed from where it was.
When to use it
Use it at the end of a flow to move processed files out of the inbox, so the next run does not read them again.

Worth knowing
- The file being moved must be on the FlowDoo server or in My files, because FlowDoo can only delete there. It can be moved to any folder, including Google Drive or your computer.
- Nothing moves until you tick “Yes, really write to the file system”. A preview says what would move.
- A file already in the target folder is not overwritten unless Overwrite is ticked; that file stays where it was.
