Automatically sort files into dated folders

If you're like me, you like to sort your online shopping receipts into dated folders or sort your digital photos into EXIF dated folders, But it may take you a lot of effort and time. It's probably the wiser choice to have some software sort files automatically than performing that task manually.

RoboBasket is an automatic file sorter which can automatically sort your files based on the user configured set of rules.

Let's see how to automatically sort files into dated folders in three easy steps

STEP 1: Add the folder

Add the folder which your files locates(e.g. your desktop or your downloads) by clicking on the "Add New Folder" button.

STEP 2: Set up rules

With the help of RoboBasket Rule Engine it's really easy to set up our file sorting rules.

Create rules with some conditions and actions "Move to" or "Copy to". Select the destination folder. Click on the Action's "Options" button and check the "sort into subfolder" option. insert "date.created" or "photo.date" attributes into the text box. You can create some rules like this:
If "extension" is "jpg" then "Move to" "pictures" folder and sort into "photo.date" subfolder.

If "name" contains "order" then "Move to" "Receipts" folder and sort into "date.created" subfolder

STEP 3: Apply rules

You can click "Organize Folder" button to organize files instantly.

Click "Start Watching Folders" button, RoboBasket will minimize to your system tray and do its work silently in the background, automatically filing, organizing and cleaning.
