Windows 10 How to Create Virtual Folders for Organizing Files Across Multiple Locations

[user0X]

Looking for a way to group the same files in multiple folders.

Any way to achieve this?

What's the end result for this? Are the directories going to be on the same system or remote?

On the same system. Its like the same file goes under various folders, one say financial year, another say clients name and yet another projects.

So I'm assuming the year directory will be static for the year and the other two will change between files

Maybe

Well there's nothing available, that I know of, that will accomplish this. At least not free or built into Windows.

One possible solution though could be

• Have some type of 'Work In Progress' directory
• Have a shared root directory for either all or each end target (Year, Customers, Projects)
• Have a Queue directory

Then create a powershell script that runs as a scheduled task. The powershell script would do the following

• On an interval it will check the queue directory for a request file (this file will have comma separated values such as the file(s) name(s), the year its for, customer name and project)
• The script will then move the request file(s) based on those values
• The structure of the Work In Progress and end target should be predictable for the script
• Removes the queue request file

This would probably be the easiest way to accomplish what you want
