Variables produced
Store the moved folder path into a new variable. This will contain the final path of the moved folder after the operation is complete.
Using Variables in Conditions
You can use variables for both the source folder path and destination folder path by clicking the {x} icon. This allows you to dynamically specify folders based on previous operations or user inputs. When using variables, ensure they contain valid folder paths to avoid errors during execution.
Notes
Ensure you have appropriate permissions to move folders in both the source and destination locations.
The "Overwrite" option will preserve files in the original folder that don't have name conflicts with files in the overwriting folder.
Moving folders across different drives may take longer than moving within the same drive.
If the source folder doesn't exist, the command will fail.
The "Add suffix automatically" option will append a number to the folder name if a folder with the same name exists in the destination.
