Creating A Folder From Any Number Of Selected Items In Finder? Is there a quick way to select several items and place them into a new folder?
Two ways to achieve this:


Select the files, compress them into a zip, and then uncompress them into a folder that will be named whatever you named the zip in the first place.


Select the items you want in the Finder, right-click (or two-finger tap) on them to bring up OS X's contextual menu, and choose the first option: New Folder with Selection (shown in the gif below). The Finder will then create a new folder with those items stored safely inside, removing at least one step from the process for you automatically.
