Video Transcript:
- In this video, we will organize files from the downloads folder to the office folder.
- Select the Downloads folder, right-click and copy using Copywhiz.
- Go to the destination folder, right-click and choose Copywhiz Paste Advanced.
- The Copywhiz main window will open. Click on the Advanced Settings button.
- In the Destination Tab, choose the option ‘Organize files inside folders based on name, type, date, etc.’
- Click on the Organizer button.
- Under the file property section, choose ‘File Extension’ from the drop-down. This will create separate folders based on the various types of files.
- Click on OK.
- Since we are organizing files, we will move the files instead of copying them. To do this, choose the option ‘Paste & delete original (move)’.
- Paste the files.
- Check the Downloads folder and you will find it empty. This is because we moved files instead of just copying them.
- To repeat this action automatically at regular intervals, we will schedule the Copywhiz project.
- But first, we need to save the project.
- Click on File-> Save As in the top-left corner of the Copywhiz main window.
- Once the project is saved, click on ‘Paste Later( Schedule).’
- Select the backup frequency and other options based on your preference.
- Schedule this project and it will now perform the action automatically at the time specified!
