📎 AI Summary:
The original poster inquires about the possibility of creating a new folder directly from a multi-file selection in Windows, beyond simply compressing files or manually creating a folder and moving files into it. A respondent explains that while Windows doesn't have a direct "Send to new folder" option, users can create a folder and then use drag-and-drop via right-clicking to move or copy multiple files into it. The overall tone is helpful and informative, offering practical workarounds for managing multiple files efficiently.

Just wondering, is it possible to create a new folder from a multiple selection of files.
That is, select a bunch of files and right click or something. Select Send to new folder..
I just see send to.. compressed(zipped) folder.

Of course I can just create a new folder and move the selected files...

But it would be nice if it were possible..

You can select from the right-click+drag menu whether or not you wish to move the selected source files to the new folder (TEST) or simply copy them. You can also use this method to drag & drop your selected files to your Desktop or the root of the C: drive; in other words drop...
