How do I move a file to an SMB share

Mac
1

This might be more of a MacOS question than a MP3Tag question but I can’t figure out how to move files to an SMB share.

In the sidebar of finder I can see the machine with the shares in it and I can browse to it, I just don’t know how or what the path would be to the share.

Generally you move like any other drive and folder in macOS. If you need to refer to the share from the terminal it is typically /Volumes/Shared-folder-name or if it is not connected, smb://sharename but you said you already connected.

I might be doing things wrong, I’m trying to create a new action to move a file, I have created a new action group and in the group I have this:

SCR-20251103-tbqy
SCR-20251103-tbqy1321×437 35.6 KB

When I run the action group nothing is being moved.

There is a high chance that I’m using/doing the wrong thing.

This is what is showing in Finder.

You should have a folder called /Volumes/more_media/audiobooks try to use it instead of the smb://…

I can see the locations in the Volumes directory. However, when I use that path the files aren’t being moved to the location.

Can you check the format string, especially where you quote the square brackets using '? It looks like some of them are ´ or somethings different, it's difficult to see from your screenshot.

The easiest way to verify your format string is to paste it at Convert → Tag - Tag where you get a live preview of the evaluated result.

Thanks, that was the problem. The files are being moved now.
