About QuickMove
Right-click a file and it goes where that kind of file belongs. QuickMove is a rules-based file mover for Windows. The first time it meets a new kind of file the Rule Wizard builds the rule with you, by name, extension or pattern (regular expressions included); after that the move happens without a prompt. Files that fit no rule get a list of your favourite folders. Every move is in a history with undo, multi-step included. Rules can be overridden or edited from the context menu, can route files into sub-folders by name, and can rename an existing file in the target folder out of the way instead of overwriting it. The optional Automation plugin (US$24.99) watches folders such as Downloads and applies your rules by itself. Works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu. One-off US$29.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support within 24 hours.

FileToFolder
Create a folder from a file, and put it back, from the right-click menu. Select one file or many in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose FileToFolder: each file gets a folder named after it and is moved inside. FolderToFile does the reverse: it pulls files out of their folders into the current one, from sub-folders too if you want, and deletes the empty folders it leaves behind. Dissolve moves a folder's contents up one level and removes the folder. It works from the Windows 11 first-page context menu with no "Show more options" step, and as a normal application with command-line options for scripts. One-off US$19.99 licence with free minor updates; free edition and a fully functional 7-day trial. Windows 7 SP1 to 11 and Windows Server 2012 R2 and above. Email support, answered within 24 hours. Made in Australia; current release 7.3, September 2026. Need rules-based moving as well? That is QuickMove, from the same people.

Folder Hub
Folder Hub functions similarly to a floating Finder and cleverly utilizes the notch on your Mac.
When you move your cursor to the notch area of your Mac, a window will pop up, floating above other windows, and you can use it almost the same way you use Finder.
You can drag files into your workspace.
You can double-click to folders.
You can right-click to open the menu and sort items.
You can drag and move files around.
However, unlike Finder, to use Folder Hub, you first need to create a workspace that contains the folders you frequently access, such as Desktop, Downloads, etc. Once your workspace is created, you can instantly access these folders in a floating window format.
Advantages of Folder Hub Over Finder:
Floating Window Accessibility: Folder Hub presents a floating window that’s always at your disposal. There's no need to move current windows around, expose the desktop, or drag files manually from the desktop.
