How to use:
- Drag and drop the "Move Folder" activity onto the workflow.
- Configure the properties by specifying the source path, destination path, and optionally enabling overwrite if needed.
- Optionally, configure the delay.
- Execute the workflow to move the specified folder to the destination location on your local system.
Example: Consider an example where the "Move Folder" activity is used to move a folder named "Documents" from one directory to another:
Move Folder:
Source Path: "C:\Files\Documents"
Destination Path: "D:\Backup"
Overwrite: true
In this example, the activity moves the "Documents" folder from the "C:\Files\" directory to the "D:\Backup\" directory. If a folder with the same name exists in the destination directory, it is merged due to the Overwrite option being set to true.
