> [@UKenGB](#): > > Why make users have to jump through hoops like this when it would be so easy to incorporate it as a PMS admin option. The concept seem simple, but it’s not really. Moving media files to another location is not something that is done very often and the amount of effort needed to implement a function that may be used by some users every couple of years, it’s just not a priority at this time. There are a couple of feature requests for this, but as you can see, the demand is not high. You can add your vote. > [@\[Feature Request\] Ability to move Media from the Plex Interface](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-ability-to-move-media-from-the-plex-interface/377057): > > It would be really useful to have the facility in Plex to move media from one library to another. I spend most of the time accessing Plex remotely as I live in a different country to my setup, so I have to keep making notes on media movements for when I go home. - Not a life changer, but would definitely save a lot of time for Road Warriors like myself! > [@\[Feature Request\] Moving media between libraries without losing metadata using UI](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-moving-media-between-libraries-without-losing-metadata-using-ui/587567): > > Yes, there is a [How To](https://forums.plex.tv/t/howto-plex-database-modification-moving-media-the-right-wrong-way/126701) and even a [Support Article](https://support.plex.tv/articles/201154537-move-media-content-to-a-new-location/) but both don’t always work (especially keeping edited metadata) - or require many manual steps. Judging from the years of support requests/questions about this topic, there’s enough interest to warrant a renewed look at this. Can’t this be added to the User Interface to make it easier? Pretty please? It will be nice to finally get a feature that makes it easier to manage libraries for a change! --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.plex.tv/t/rename-library-folder-directory/694719)._
