        Tip: Enable Dry run first to preview what will be copied without touching any files. Disable it once you're satisfied with the output.
      


    

  


  


  
  
How to use

  

    

      
STEP 01

      
Fill in the paths

      
Enter your source and destination folder paths above. UNC paths like \\server\share are fully supported.

    

    

      
STEP 02

      
Set your date range

      
Pick start and end dates. The script includes the full end day — anything modified before midnight counts.

    

    

      
STEP 03

      
Copy the script

      
Hit Copy and paste into PowerShell ISE, VS Code, or save as a .ps1 file and run.

    

    

      
STEP 04

      
Dry run first

      
Enable Dry run to preview with -WhatIf. No files are moved — just a safe preview of what would happen.

    

  


  


  
  
Execution policy

  

    If you see a script execution error, run this once in an elevated PowerShell window:


    Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope CurrentUser RemoteSigned


    This allows locally-written scripts to run without requiring a code signature.
