Extract all files from Parent Folder and Subfolders

i have Seriously Nested Folder Heirarchy Syndrome (SNFHS) sometimes and i would like a tool that will let me manage this condition by extracting all the files from any particular parent folder and all subfolders.


is there a balm for this condition in the form of an app or script even if i won't cure it?


TIA

Open the parent folder and type Command + F. Select Kind = Document. That should display a list of all files in the folder and sub folders.

You can then select all and drag them to a single designated folder.
