How to move multiple files at once to a shared folder?

I want to share a bunch of photos with family. I created a shared folder and sent them the link to view. I can select multiple photos and videos at once... but I can't figure out how to move them all into the shared folder at the same time. Am I missing something? Am I really supposed to click photos one by one to move them??

    Hey teacher12, welcome to the forum. 

     

    Can you let me know which Dropbox platform you’re using to move these files into the shared folder? Are you on www.dropbox.com or the mobile app?

     

    We’ll go from there.

        Hey teacher12, thanks for clarifying.

         

        If you're on the website and you've selected your files, you should see some options above your files, like "download", "delete" and a "..." (ellipsis) button.

         

        If you click on the ellipsis, you should see a "move" option, which will allow you to move your files to the preferred location.
