Hi waugusto, welcome to our Community! 

 

Can you clarify which platform you're going to be using? Will you be doing this on the web, desktop or mobile app? 

 

Let me know, and I'll be happy to further guide you. Thanks!

      Hi waugusto, in this case you'd need to manually create a new folder, and then copy each file/folder you'd like in it. 

       

      You'd need to access each path, and decide the content you want to move to the new folder.

        Ok. I understand but I have more 20,000 images spread among a lot of folders. Is there a way to select all JPG files automatically ?

        Thanks
