how to move files from managed_folders to another

Hi everyone,

I am trying to move files from a managed_folders to another. In the managed folder's API documentation I see this function copy_to(targetwrite_mode='OVERWRITE'), but with this copies all the files when I only need to copy some. Is there a way to move the files without having to read them and then write them?

Hi @jdorgani ,

Have you tried using the merge folder recipe?

This would do exactly what you are looking for. 

If you need the Python API, you can to iterate through the files and copy each of them.

Thanks
