Moving and renaming files
Tidying up in the Drive — one at a time, or several files and folders at once.
Web + app
A tidy Drive helps the whole choir. This guide shows you how to rename files and folders, move them into other folders, work on several at once and sort the view.
Renaming, moving and copying are reserved for the choir leadership and the admins. Other members can view the Drive and download files, but can't reorganise anything.
Renaming
Choose Rename, enter the new name and confirm. The same rules apply as when creating:
up to 255 characters, no / or \, and the name has to be unique within the folder.
Moving
You can put a file or a folder into another folder (or back into the root directory).
cori stops you from moving a folder into itself or into one of its own subfolders — that would create an endless loop. In that case you'll see the note “Cannot move folder into itself”.
Several at once
For a tidy-up, the multiple selection comes in handy:
Copying
For individual files only: via the three-dot menu › Copy, cori creates a copy in the same folder, named “Copy of …”. Folders can't be copied. A copy takes up additional space — keep an eye on your storage quota.
Sorting the view
Sort only changes how the list is displayed — it doesn't change anything about the files themselves. The options include “Name A→Z”, “Name Z→A”, “Newest”, “Oldest”, “Recently modified” and size. Folders are always shown before files.
