I remember seeing some screenshots or a video where the finder had right click> copy to & move to commands available so you could copy or move files by choosing the folder of your choice. Not sure if these are hidden options in Bigsur or a 3rd party app had enabled it.

If you know such app kindly let me know the app name which can add copy to & move to command on right click in the finder.

I wonder if a Finder extension something like this one is what you might be looking for:


There are also extensions in the App Store, although after a quick look, I didn't see any that specifically mentioned the functionality you're after. But maybe there is one there.

Are you sure it wasn't mail app instead.

Yes this is what I saw in the video could not remember if this was a native feature of finder or it was an app. Thanks for sharing the app I will download this.

Just bookmark the Apple Support document Mac Keyboard shortcuts and print it it out for references!

It's not that complicated. You can simply select the file(s) you want to move, right-click and select Copy, then navigate to the folder where you want to move them, then hold down the Option key and right-click. You'll see a Move item here entry in the drop-down menu. Click that and you've moved the file(s). The Option key is very useful.
