## Move file

`POST /v1/files/:id/moveto`

Moves a file to another folder within the same storage. On success the `folderId` field in the response contains the ID of the target folder; the file's `id`, `createdAt`, and `createdBy` do not change.

## Parameters

|----------|---|-----|:-----:|----------|
| `id` | path | number | yes | File ID. Get it via `GET /v1/files` |

## Request fields (body)

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|------|-----|:-----:|----------|
| `targetFolderId` | number | yes | Destination folder ID. Get it via `GET /v1/folders` |

## Known specifics

**Identifier persistence.** After the move, the file's `id`, `createdAt`, and `createdBy` do not change — all external references to the file by ID keep working.
