About this app

Folder Mover helps Windows users, technicians, and domain administrators move or copy large folder trees with resumable sessions, detailed logging, and NTFS permission handling. Version 1.1.0 adds Preserve Inheritance mode for server and domain migrations where the destination folder tree must keep the source permission model instead of flattening inherited source permissions into explicit entries on every destination item.

Capabilities

Built for interrupted real-world file moves

Focused controls make large local and network folder operations easier to restart, preserve, verify, and finish.

Resume interrupted sessions after network share failures or disconnected destinations.
Preserve NTFS permissions with options for none, protected source-only permissions, Preserve Inheritance, or inherited merges.
Preserve ACL inheritance structure by copying explicit permissions at each file and folder level and letting child items inherit from their copied destination parent.
Use multithreaded file operations for large folder trees and network migrations.
Record detailed progress, error logs, file counts, moved data size, and operation duration.
Choose practical overwrite behavior for existing files during repeat or recovery runs.
