New Finder Window

Open the window that contains the file you want to move. Press Command Shift N to get a new Finder window (the new window is probably a duplicate of the one that’s already open). Position the two windows side by side. In the new window, find the folder icon that you want to move the file into. Then just drag the file from one window and drop it onto the folder icon in the other window.
