Move all of one file type into a new Google Drive folder?

I just started learning automation today and I’m testing it on organizing my Google Drive. I’m wondering if there’s a way to move all of one file type (images) into a specific folder. Thanks for any help!

Welcome to the Make community!

Yes, that is possible. You’ll need a minimum of two modules.

If you want to sort more than one file type, you can add a router and filters.

This is just an example. Your final solution may or may not look like this depending on your requirements.

Hope this helps! Let me know if there are any further questions or issues.

Hello and welcome to the world of no code automation!

Yes, you can use the Google drive module “Search for files/Folders” and in the Search field use the “Enter custom search query”. Then just write a query to search for images.

Then use the move a File/Folder module to move the images to another folder.

Make sure to create an appropriate limit on how many images it searches for so you don’t use too many operations.
