# Move files

Moving a file in Document360 Drive lets you reorganize your media library by relocating files between folders — without breaking any links to articles that already use them. The file's CDN URL stays the same regardless of where it lives in the folder structure.

---

## Why move files

As your knowledge base grows, so does your media library. You may need to move files when:

- **Reorganizing your Drive** — Restructuring folders to match a new content taxonomy or project structure.
- **Correcting misplaced uploads** — A file was uploaded to the wrong folder and needs to be placed in the right location.
- **Consolidating media assets** — Grouping related images or files together for easier management.

Because the file's URL does not change after a move, any article referencing that file continues to display it correctly — no re-linking required.

---

## Before you begin

- The destination folder must exist within the **same project**. Moving files across projects is not supported.
- Only one file can be moved at a time.

---

## Move a file

1. Open Drive from your Document360 project.
2. Select the file you want to move.
3. Click **Move** in the top menu bar. The **Move files** dialog appears.
4. Locate the destination folder, either by typing its name in the search bar or by browsing the folder list manually.
5. Click **Move**.

The file is now in the new folder.

 NOTE

Moving a file does not change its CDN URL. Any article that references the file continues to display it without any updates needed.

## Best practices

- **Organize before you scale** — Set up a clear folder structure early so files land in the right place from the start, reducing the need to move them later.
- **Use meaningful folder names** — Descriptive folder names make it easier to find the right destination when moving files.
- **Search, don't scroll** — Use the search bar in the Move files dialog to quickly locate the destination folder, especially in large Drive libraries.
