Hi,
Which one is correct?:

1. Move the files to its own folder, or
2. Move the files to their own folder.

Context: It's about moving multiple files to one single folder. For example, all animal related photos into a single folder named "Animals".

Thank you. Is it correct to use "Move the files into their own folder?" with "into". Does it change the meaning?

Instead of saying "its own folder", which is vague, why not state the name of the folder?
