SummaryManaging a large number of files is very tedious and reduces efficiency. In this case, we can classify files by the first character appearing in the file name. For example, different types of file names like 2025 Annual_Report, #projectA, v2.0.1 Documentation will automatically create folders named 2, #, v, and move the files to the corresponding folders. This convenience perfectly solves the issue of mixed-naming files in scenarios like financial receipts, project documents, and multimedia resources. Below is an introduction on how to move hundreds or thousands of files at once into folders created by the first number, letter, symbol, or Chinese character in the file name.


1、Usage Scenarios
