Moving several files at once
How can I move several files in a box folder BF1 to another box folder BF2 at once when BF2 is a folder in BF1?
I currently do that one by one which is a lot of effort if you have to move more than 3 files.
Is there any option in box to select several files in a box folder at once and move them?

Hi Angelika,
Welcome to the Box Community, I'm happy to help!
If you need to move multiple files from a folder to another folder, you may follow the steps below.
To move or copy multiple items at once:
- Do the same actions as you do when selecting multiple items on your desktop:
- On Windows machines, to select multiple items in a group, press and hold SHIFT and click anywhere next to the items you want. To select multiple scattered items, press and hold CTRL anywhere next to each of the items you want.
- On Mac machines, to select multiple items in a group, press and hold SHIFT and click anywhere next to the items you want. To select multiple scattered items, press and hold CMD and click anywhere next to each of the items you want.
- In the top-right portion of the screen, click the ellipsis (...) to open the Move or Copy window.

Why can't I delete multiple files at once? The above advice does not work for me on my mac. Very onerous to delete about 50 files one at a time.
Makes you appreciate just about every other file storage website that exists.
