Automatically Move Files Into Directories

Dir Split is a very specialized tool that can move files that reside in a directory on the local computer system into subdirectories. This can for instance be useful if a large amount of files need to be split because of their size. Dir Split is however not as sophisticated as Move Out which moves files based on their file extension or name. The main use for Dir Split is therefor to move files of a similar type from one root folder into different subfolders.

The program is straightforward to use. It begins by displaying a folder browser to select the root folder that contains the files that the user wants to move into subdirectories. The number of files per subdirectory need to be specified in the second and last step of the process.

The software program will then move all files that are stored in the root folder into subdirectories. The folders are numbered starting by 1.

Dir split is a specialized application that can be downloaded from the developer’s website over at Codeplex. It is compatible with most 32-bit and 64-bit Microsoft Windows operating systems including Windows 7.
