Moving folders in Lightroom

  • August 31, 2024

I use a Macbook and have been using Lightroom for a while. I have a silly issue. How can I move files from one hard drive to another, at root level? Each time I do this change, I seem to have to put the files into another subfolder rather than the root and then they are stuck into the wrong subfolder!

Here I would like the 2024-08-11 Corse 2024 folder to be at the same level as the 2024-01-14 Appartement Neuilly and I dont know how to do that...

Help welcome ! thanks!

Moderators- This is a Lightroom-Classic question (judging by the screen-clip)

@JP Castellani  You can [Right-Click] on the { 2024-01-14 Appartement Neuilly } folder and select [Show Parent Folder]. This will make visible the 'Parent' folder where you can then drag & drop the { 2024-08-11 Corse 2024 } folder.

Your screen-clip does not cover all of the folder panel, so I am assuming that [Show Parent Folder] will be the answer you need.

It sounds like you mean "How can I move files folders from one hard drive to another, at root level?"
