It’s all hard work when you try organizing your files and folders, by manually searching them and moving to the specified destination. Very few viable options exist that execute the task as required. So if you want to get out of this monotonous routine work and save time and effort, try DropIt! DropIt is a flexible tool to automate sorting & organize files and folders. The open-source tool is freeware; however, the author, for further development of the program, encourages and accepts donations.
