This is admittedly a minor issue, but it's driving me nuts. I'm used to using Google rather than Edge, and in Google I can select a file and select "move to" and it moves it to my selected location. On Edge all I can to copy and paste things which wastes time and is rather annoying. I'm wondering if there's a setting I've yet to find to deal with this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you're more familiar with Google Chrome's file management capabilities. In Microsoft Edge, unfortunately, there's no direct "Move to" option like in Chrome. However, you can try using Windows File Explorer for more efficient file management. Right-click on the file, select "Cut," then go to the destination folder and right-click to "Paste." This will move the file instead of copying it.

Hope it will help!

@M3M Please make your own post instead of posting in an unrelated thread. Go to the front page of the community app and click the big blue "new post" button, choose a category and write your post.  That way the community members will be more likely to see it and give you a response, it will also help others who may be looking for the same solution.  Posting in the middle of an unrelated post, is not going to help you or anyone else and it's rude and distracting to the original poster.

What are you referring to?  You don't move files through internet browsers, you do it through a file manager.

I meant using file manager, which I should have mentioned. I'm used to Google, and having the option to simply move files around, not copying and pasting them then going back to delete the original. It's a step backwards for a simple function, not forward.

In Samsung file manager, you would go to the folder withe the file you want to move, select the file, choose move, then navigate to the folder you want to move to and select move here.

Works fine that way on my desktop and tablet, but not in this case. This Samsung laptop doesn't give me that option. Copy and paste is the only way to go. It's annoying.
