# Folder Copy Action

With the help of the Folder Copy Action it is possible to copy a folder including its contents from "a" to "b". This node is mainly intended to copy folders with a small size. To copy folders that contain video assets, it is recommended to use the Job Folder Copy Action in an asynchronous way of the stream, as this allows the progress of the copy process to be displayed in the dashboard.
