I have hundreds of Folders, each with multiple files in them (from an iPhoto backup, not sure why OSX does this). I simply want to move all these files into ONE folder. I have found the solution for Windows OS's, but nothing for OSX. I am running MacOS Sierra 10.12.4. Thanks!

Right you want to discard all the folders themselves and just keep the actual files in those folders.

Yeah i would just skip the command line one and go to the kind:

I'm not sure I understand. They aren't .zip files, they are just folders. And I am not familiar enough with OSX systems yet so sadly enough I don't know how to 'run' things as mentioned in that post.

Perfect, that worked. Although I didn't need to enter the phrase 'kind:', I just had to search the type of files in the search bar on the top right of the window. Thanks!
