To manage files on a computer, you first need a suitable file classification and organization method to achieve fast file retrieval, minimize the number of directory levels opened, and reduce the number of times you flip through files. If the content of multiple files is related, and the file names are already differentiated by the first character, but they are all jumbled together with other files in multiple folders, how can you separate them all and save them into folders newly created based on that first character?

1. Use Cases

Classify and summarize files based on the first character of the file name, including numbers, letters, text, symbols, etc., and save them into folders newly created under that first character.

For example: !Excel.xlsx, 1 Excel.xlsx, Test Excel.xlsx files

Need to classify by the first character

After classification, they will be saved into the three newly created folders: !, 1, T
