Easiest technique for XCode 8....

Assuming you have files A,B,C in a logical group, but want them moved into a folder on your hard drive.

1. Create a destination folder via Finder
2. Add the folder in XCode (File -> Add Files ) using the Options pane to select a Folder Reference (not a group)

Done.
