I'm not sure what title to give to this question, nor where to post it

What I want is: when I save a file to folder A, it will automatically save it to folder B, and delete it from folder A, what should I do to make that happen?

Should I use a workflow? Symbolic link? what would be the most sucessful choice?

Thank you guys!
