duplicate file names

I make the same folders for my clients every year. I am trying to figure out how can I copy file names (only) from 2023 and create the name 4 folders in 2024 without having to type all of that for each client. is there a copy and paste for the group of 4 folders?

    Hi @Val313! Hope you’re doing well. 

     

    What you can do, to copy paste a filename, is to select the option to rename the file, and then copy the name, like you’d do with any other file on your device. This way, you don't have to manually type the whole filename again.

     

    Otherwise, if you'd like to copy entire files (and not just their names), you can follow these steps.

     

    If there’s something I’ve misunderstood, please let me know.
