When a computer accumulates numerous folders due to storing a large number of files, and you need to categorize and manage them based on file content, or before backing up folder contents, adding prefixes such as the time and type of the folder content to the folder names is an essential approach, making it easier to quickly locate the desired folders. If there are too many folders to rename one by one to add name prefixes, the following introduces how to avoid this situation by batch adding prefix content to the far left of all folder names, saving time on inputting names.
1. Use Cases
Batch-add prefixes such as numbers, dates, letters, symbols, and keywords to the beginning of file names in a large number of folders.
For example: AI folder, Graphs folder, Subtitle folder
If you need to add the date 2025-1-7 to the beginning of the folder names
After adding, they become: 2025-1-7AI folder, 2025-1-7Graphs folder, 2025-1-7Subtitle folder
