Files 2 Folder Creates New Folders, Pre-Populated with Your Selected Files

Written By: T C - Feb• 15•12

One feature I miss from my Mac when I move to my Windows PC is the ability to highlight a group of files, right-click them, and select "New Folder with Selection" to create a folder and automatically fill it with the items Ive selected. Files 2 Folder is a free Windows shell extension that does just that—and it even asks you what youd like to name the folder when its completed.Files 2 Folder is similar to previously mentioned Smart Folders, but works a bit better. First of all, it doesnt require you do anything different than youre used to—you can still right-click to create a new folder, the way you probably do already.All you have to do is select the files you want in that folder, and the app handles the rest. Plus, unlike Smart Folders, it doesnt keep you from opening a file with an application by dragging and dropping the file onto the app. It fits into your workflow a bit easier and doesnt stop you from creating folders your usual way. FIles 2 Folder is free, and works wherever Windows does It claims 64-bit Windows isnt supported, but I tested it on Windows 7 x64, and it worked just fine.
