Copying and Managing Content from the Files Tab - Serato DJ Pro & Lite

Serato gives you the ability to copy or move files and folders between drives or to a new location on the same drive. This process enables you to move files around your computer's hard drives without damaging the referenced file location in your Serato DJ library.

You can copy and manage your files by clicking on the 'Files' button located to the left-hand side of the Search Bar. The Files Panel will show you a list of common locations as well as all drives you have connected.

First, make a selection of the files you wish to copy or move. Drag this selection to the Files Tab, and then to a location on one of your drives. The application will then prompt you with the following options:

Copy - Select this to make a copy of the selected files and folders in the new location. The Serato library will still reference these files from their original location, however, there will also be another copy in the location you selected.

Move - Select this to move the selected files to the new location. Your Serato library and crates will now reference the files in their new location.

Cancel - Select this to cancel any changes.

Once an option is selected, a progress bar will be shown in the bottom right-hand corner of the software. Clicking on the progress bar will bring up a status window. From here, you can also cancel the progress

TIP: You can also copy or move your Crates and Subcrates to another drive in the same way. Open the Files panel and select, drag and drop your Crates or Subcrates to the new drive. You will be presented with the same options as mentioned above.
