Files

Safe, verified file operations — never a silent overwrite.

Overview

File operations run through a dedicated lifecycle layer with copy verification, conflict policies, and recycle-bin-backed deletion — so Paw can create, move, merge, and organize files without the risk of silent data loss.

How it works

  1. 1

    Request the operation

    "Merge these two folders," "find duplicate files," "back this up."

  2. 2

    Conflict policy applied

    Paw follows your chosen policy for anything that would collide.

  3. 3

    Verify

    Copies are checked against the source before being considered successful.

Use cases

  • • Reorganizing project folders without manual drag-and-drop
  • • Safe bulk file operations with an undo path via the recycle bin

Limitations

  • • Permanent deletion still requires explicit confirmation — Paw defaults to recoverable actions
