After selecting the files, a toolbar will automatically appear on the screen. Click the 'Move' tool icon.
In the Move dialog box that pops up, browse to and select your desired destination folder, then confirm the action to relocate the files.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I move entire folders within Acrobat.com as well?
Yes, you can select an entire folder just like a file and use the Move tool to place it inside another folder within your cloud storage.
Why isn't the Move tool appearing when I view my files?
The toolbar containing the Move tool is contextual and only appears after you select at least one file. Ensure you have checked the box next to the file.
Is there a keyboard shortcut to select all files before moving?
Yes, in legacy Workspaces you can press Control+A on Windows (or Command+A on Mac) to select all files in the current directory.
