Move to New Folder

Move to New Folder is an Obsidian community plugin that moves a file or folder into a newly created folder without requiring you to type the full destination path.

What it does

  • Adds Move file to new folder... for notes
  • Adds Move folder to new folder... in the file explorer for folders
  • Lets you choose a parent folder from a searchable picker
  • Creates the new child folder and moves the target safely with Obsidian APIs
  • Preserves Obsidian's normal link-update behavior when moving files

Preview

  4. Enter the new folder name.
  5. Confirm the move.

Command palette
