I need an Automator Folder Action workflow that when files are dropped into the folder the workflow is assigned to, it will first make a copy of the dropped files to one different folder, and then move the original dropped files to another different folder.
For example, say I want to drop a single file into a "Hot Folder", then have that file first copied to a different folder, and then the same file that was first copied, moved to another different folder.
This would leave the folder the file was originally dropped into empty while now having the originally dropped file in two different location by the Automator Folder Action workflow, one by copying it and the other by moving the file the copy was made from.
Can someone show me how to do this with Automator?
