What is New Folder With Selection on Mac

Since macOS Big Sur, Apple has added the very useful New Folder With Selection command to Finder. Usually, when you control-click or right-click anywhere on the Desktop, Finder will pop up a context menu with several useful commands such as New Folder, Get Info, Move to Trash, and others.

Starting in macOS Big Sur, if you select two or more items in the Finder, then control-click or right-click them, the original New Folder menu item will change to New Folder With Selection. Selecting this feature will automatically create a new folder in place and then moves the selected items into it. This feature is very helpful if you have too many files that need to be classified.
