Move MS data files and folders

Follow these steps on the MS Files page to move multiple MS data files and folders from one folder to another folder. You can move them within the same Space or to another Space to which you have access.

You cannot move any MS data files that are currently associated with other types of data (e.g., plates and samples, projects, and analyses) because they inherit information from the MS data files. You will first need to delete all that other data before you can move the files.

On the sidebar menu, expand Data Files and select MS Files to open the MS Files page.
If the folder (or folders) you want to move is listed at the top-level of the page, go to the next step. Otherwise, navigate into the folder that holds the files and/or folders you want to move.
Select the checkbox of each file and/or folder you want to move.
Select Move data files to open the Move Files dialog.
(Optional)To move the files and/or folders to another Space, select that Space from the Space list.
Select the destination folder. To select the Space’s top-level folder, select the <home> button in the breadcrumb above the list of folders.
Select Move Here.
Select OK to confirm.
