Best Way to Archive Old Files Automatically Mon May 11, 2026 5:05 am • by lmn741
Hello Hazel Community,

I’m looking for a way to automatically move files older than 6 months into an Archive folder. I’ve tried creating a rule with “Date Last Modified,” but some files are not being picked up.

Does anyone have tips on creating a reliable rule for archiving old files? Bonus if it can handle multiple file types at once.

Thanks!

Can you post what your rule looks like currently?
