# Can I move several folders at once in Data Parking?

Yes. Each row has a checkbox, so tick as many files and folders as you like, or use the **All** toggle in the pane's footer to select everything visible. Then use a move button or Send here; each item becomes its own move in the queue.

The footer shows the total size of what you've selected — counting only folders that have finished measuring and saying how many are still outstanding. If some selected folders were written to recently, only those are held; the rest go ahead.
