Here is a quick start guide about RoboBasket. RoboBasket is an auto file sorter which can move, copy, rename, delete files according to file's name, extension, type, creation date, modified date, and more file attributes. When you click the Group by command, a drop-down menu appears that displays the Group options that are appropriate for the Documents folder ( Figure A).In this tutorial you can see how to sort files into folders automatically with RoboBasket. Let's begin by taking a look at how the Group by command works in the Documents folder.
It's contextualĪs I mentioned, the Group by command is contextual, which means that it will provide you with options that are appropriate for the type of object that you've selected, such as a location or a folder. It can also help you to locate and get rid of junk files that you never meant to keep and that are hogging valuable disk space.Īs its name implies, the Group by command is designed to display all your files in groups, and it's contextual! In this article, I'll explain how the Group by command works and show you how to use it to your advantage. For example, using the Group by feature, you can find data files that you never knew you had or that you'd forgotten about. Of course, Windows 10's Search feature can help you out when you have an idea of what you are looking for, but it really can't help you when you're not sure.įortunately, you can use File Explorer's Group by command to gain a different perspective on the data files that you have stored on your hard disk. Nor do you even remember every document that you have on your hard disk.
If you're like most users, you probably aren't taking advantage of the power that this command provides when it comes to sorting through the various files folders and other objects that you can display in File Explorer.įor example, when it comes to data files, no matter how organized you are, chances are pretty good that you don't know where every document is located. One of these commands is called Group by, and it's found on the View tab. In previous articles, " Get to know File Explorer's Ribbon toolbar in Windows 10" and " Get to know File Explorer's Contextual tabs in Windows 10," I told you that the Ribbon toolbar system with its Core and Contextual tabs is designed to expose close to 200 different file management commands in File Explorer.
