Merge Folders
macOS
Scattered folders. One place.
Bring the contents of several folders together from Finder. Review the destination, move the contents into one folder, and keep both files when names collide.
Get Merge FoldersBring the contents together. Know what moves.
Merge Folders moves files on the same mounted filesystem. Keep the folders idle, review the destination, and keep a backup. There is no Finder Undo or automatic rollback for a completed move.

Inside the app.
Less scattered. Still under your control.
Together, not nested
Combine the contents of selected folders into a new sibling folder or a destination you choose.
Both files get to stay
Name conflicts receive numbered names instead of replacing existing items. App bundles and photo libraries stay intact.
Review before moving
A native review screen shows the sources and destination before you start. The app works under your existing file permissions.

A few useful answers.
It moves files. Every participating folder must be on the same volume or filesystem. Cross-volume merges are rejected before moving.
There is no automatic rollback or Finder Undo. If a merge stops, completed moves remain at the destination and the remaining items stay in their sources. Keep a backup and leave participating folders idle during a merge.
