I have a list of folders and files. How can I paste a file into a folder that has a selection, like in Windows? If I Press Cmd+V, the file is inserted into a parent folder not the one I selected.

Drag and drop items on Mac the file onto the folder of your choice
This happened to me once in Sonoma (after manipulating numerous files in Safari and Finder and when Finder somehow lost proper focus to folders) and was fixed after a reboot.
If you are in List View, the target is not the selection. It is the folder that is named in the title bar.

But what if you have multiple folders selected?
Nah, that’s not an option, I need to use keyboard shortcuts as they are faster and I am more used to it
You remain, welcome just the same
How do I paste a file into a specific folder on my Mac?
