Select multiple files I know how to select multiple files in the files app. The problem comes when I search for something, lets say All PS files now if I want to select from that there’s no option to do that. Is there any way possible to select in files after searching? It would save me a lot of time

Select multiple files with click and drag in list view Hi, I am unable to use click and drag to select multiple files in list view. It still works in icon view. A long time ago I could click beside a file in list view and drag to select more files, but now, in Monterey, it just selects one file and drags it – is this as intended, or is my Finder broken? Thanks for your help. Ben.
