Copy, move, and delete files and folders



Adobe Bridge makes it easy to copy files and move them between folders.

Copy files and folders

  • Select the files or folders and choose Edit > Copy.
  • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the files or folders, choose Copy To, and select a location from the list (to specify a different location, select Choose Folder).
  • Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the files or folders to a different folder.

Move files to another folder

  • Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the files, choose Move To, and select a location from the list (to specify a different location, select Choose Folder).
  • Drag the files to a different folder in the Adobe Bridge window or in Windows Explorer (Windows) or the Finder (Mac OS).
    Note: If the file you’re dragging is in a different mounted volume than Adobe Bridge, the file is copied, not moved. To move a file to a different mounted volume, Shift-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) the file.

Delete files or folders

  • Select the files or folders and click the Delete Item button .
  • Select the files or folders and press Delete, and then click Delete in the dialog box.
  • Select the files or folders and press Ctrl+Delete (Windows) or Command+Delete (Mac OS) to bypass the dialog box.
To reject a file instead of deleting it, press Alt+Delete (Windows) or Option+Delete (Mac OS).
