How can I move all files bigger than lets say 10MB into a different folder?



-rw-r--r-- 1 nath nath 4,3M Apr 21  2018 "file1.mp3"
-rw-r--r-- 1 nath nath 1,7M Jun 10 2017 'file2.mp3'
-rw-r--r-- 1 nath nath 76M Okt 12 05:33 file3.mp3
-rw-r--r-- 1 nath nath 3,7M Mär 1 2016 'file4.mp3'


so in this case it would only move file3

            There is nothing wrong with answering your own question. Be weary that on certain versions of find this command will not work as expected. It may not even fail but instead may just move all files regardless of size.
