Well, I don’t use column view because I don’t like it, but in whatever View you choose to use, simply navigate to the top level in the drive, and copy/move your folders there. Alternatively, you can press CMD + Shift + C, and then select your drive, and press CMD + DownArrow to open the drive. This will put you in the top level of the selected drive.

I am copying folders and files onto a portable drive on my Mac. I have already copied some folders there. I want to copy more folders there but I don’t want to copy the new folders into the already existing ones, nor do I want to close the drive in the finder and then go back into it. And I still want to use column view. How do I do this using column view? In other words, to use Windows terminology, how do I deselect the folders that are already there so that I can put the new ones at the same level inside of them? Can I not do this at all in column view? Do I have to use list view for this? Thanks for any insight into this minor but frustrating issue. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
