FileGrouper: organise files into folders

FileGrouper is a tool that automatically groups files into separate folders.

For example, imagine a folder containing 100 files that you want to divide into groups of three. FileGrouper creates 34 folders: it moves three files into each of the first 33 folders and the remaining file into folder 34.

Before starting: the tool moves files. Make a backup and try it with copies of unimportant files first. This English guide retains the original executable and does not change the program.

1. Copy the executable into the folder

Copy FileGrouper.exe into the folder containing the files you want to group.

2. Start FileGrouper

Double-click FileGrouper.exe, or select it and press Enter.
