Regardless of what tool you use, it is a good practice to delete the.zip file after you extract its content because keeping both consumes more space.
Mac Extract Files From Multiple Folders File
I would like to transfer my iTunes library to my phone to use as a secondary/backup iPod. The problem is that I have a lot of music, and iTunes organizes the music by putting music in separate folders via artist, and then more separate folders by album. This means there is no easy way to transfer all of my music over. I'd have to manually click on every folder, and copy songs one by one, which would take a super long time.
Is there a way to like select my iTunes Music folder and be able to get all of my music?
Extract Files From Multiple Folders
- Example: you have these files HypotheticalFILE1.zip HypotheticalFILE2.zip HypotheticalFILE3.zip HypotheticalFILE4.zip HypotheticalFILE5.zip Rather than double-clicking each.zip file (which most of the time creates folders for each file extracted) you can run a command from the Terminal which will extract all the files in to the same directory.
- 1 - Open the main top level folder. 2 - In the search box, type a single asterisk (. ) which will cause all files from that point downward (in any subfolder) to show up in the search results, regardless of which folder they are in. 3 - Drag all the search result files to their new home. You can filter by file type too.
