Have a document library called "DocLib". it has multiple sub folders(created manually).

DocLib ->Folder1

DocLib ->Folder2

DocLib ->Folder3

and further "Folder1" has one more folder called "Archive"(created automatically through JavaScript). so basically it looks like-

Folder1 -> Archive1

Folder2 -> Archive2

Folder3 -> Archive3

Cconsider this case: I upload 20-25 documents inside folder1 every month. what I want is, after every 1st date of the month, those documents should move inside "Archive1" sub folder. same goes with the other folders. like documents from "folder2" should move to sub folder "Archive2" of the "folder2" so on & so forth.

Is it possible to do so? Can it be done using workflow or JavaScript?

Note that SharePoint was developed to abandon this old school use of Folders.

Metadata is key.

Document Sets (available since 2010) are a powerfull way of organizing information in Dossiers.

Use the Drop Off Library to route documents

'Archiving' is best (and more failsave) done with a metadata column.
Together with the Content Organizer 'archived' documents can be moved to another location.

Using your own code for this; you are essentially rebuilding existing SP functionality

  • although you are correct in all that you mention above, and folks should be using those features of Sharepoint, this response does not answer the original question. Thus why I down voted it.
