Yeah I struggle with these types of UIs as well, where it's in between two elements. I think it would work a little better if the right side of the horizontal bar had an overlay with the Move Here text. That way you could tap a much larger target and it's more obvious what it's referring to. This is an improvement though to many patterns I've seen.

I also had no idea what was supposed to be happening because ordering files is not a use case I’ve ever cared about on mobile.
So I assumed ‘move here’ was supposed to move videos into videos and was trying to think how that would work.
When showing near the folders, was the "move here" between folder 1 and folder 2 supposed to mean move the files into folder 1, folder 2, or literally just display the selected between the two folders? It was not clear to me.
I think this could benefit from tweaking the "move here" thing to be closer to the thing that it relates to (classic UX issue/design approach)
