March 18, 20251 yr Hi, I am currently using "Unassigned Devices" plugin to map a remote share to an older QNAP NAS. I am in the process of moving the data off the old NAS onto my Unraid data share, the problem I am facing is that I don't see any option to do bulk move actions. If I multi-select and choose the Move action, it's only including the first selection. There must be a better way to do this, but I was not able to locate anything when searching. On the QNAP side, I'm not confident that it could handle the move from local > Unraid (failing disk, terrible spec hardware) Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
March 18, 20251 yr Community Expert Are you using the built-in Dynamix File Manager to move files? To save some other questions, Attach Diagnostics to your NEXT post in this thread.
March 18, 20251 yr Author @trurl Yes I believe it's just the built-in Dynamix.. But I also have Unbalance installed, so I'm not sure if that replaces the default explorer or just adds the features for disk management. Log is attached. Thank-you! trex-diagnostics-20250318-1316.zip

Unbalanced allows you to setup tasks to move files between disks and then run those tasks. Neither of these affect the other, or do anything on their own "behind the scenes". Unbalanced only works with assigned disks so can't help with your other server. Where do you want to put the files on your Unraid server?

They are moving to disk3/TV Shows from the remote SMB connection. I guess I can queue them all one by one, It will be a pain but doable.
March 18, 20251 yr Community Expert It seems like you should be able to do it in Dynamix File Manager but I haven't tried it. 4 hours ago, Some1TGuy said: If I multi-select and choose the Move action, it's only including the first selection. I've certainly moved multi-selected within my Unraid server.

I've certainly moved multi-selected within my Unraid server. You're right, I feel like an idiot.. I was using the line item action to move, instead of scrolling to the bottom of the file list and pressing the big 'Move' button..🤦♂️Classic case of PEBKAC I appreciate your help though!
