- How to Copy a File to Multiple Folders Simultaneously?
- Posted by Matt91123 on June 18th, 2008
How do you copy a file into several different folders at the same time?
I am trying to streamline a process at work where I have to copy a file from
one drive on a network, and paste it into a separate folder in each of 3
other drives on the network. The folder has the same name, but is on three
separate drives. On 2 of these drives, the folder is a subfolder (example:
D:\Parent\Sibling) On the third drive, the folder resides on the root
directory (F:\Sibling)
I have been copying the file, navigating to each folder and then pasting it.
This is time-consuming due to a slow server. Ideally, I'd like to drag and
drop just once and have the file go to the required folders. I am open to
other solutions.

Batch files can easily do this:
@echo off
copy /y "d:\My Files\Some File.doc" "e:\Parent\Sibling"
copy /y "d:\My Files\Some File.doc" "f:\Parent\Sibling"
copy /y "d:\My Files\Some File.doc" "g:\Sibling"
