can you give an example of those commands, I tried the key commands 

C-c C-a which opens the dispatcher

s to set a directory

then C-c C-a z to sync, but it did not do anything but add a :DIR: property. it didn't move or copy files anywhere.

Here is the code I am currently using that basically does what I want. 

(defun scimax-org-attach-attach-directory-cp (dir)
  "Copy DIR as an attachment to the current heading."
  (interactive "DDir: ")
  (copy-directory dir (file-name-as-directory (org-attach-dir 'get-create)))
  (org-attach-sync)
  (org-entry-put (point) "ATTACHMENTS"
(concat
 (org-entry-get (point) "ATTACHMENTS")
 (format " [[attachment:%s]]" (car (last (f-split dir)))))))


(defun scimax-org-attach-attach-directory-mv (dir)
  "Move DIR as an attachment to the current heading."
  (interactive "DDir: ")
  (scimax-org-attach-attach-directory-cp dir)
  (delete-directory dir t t))

Firstly you set the folder where your files are as attachment DIRectory.

Then, you set your target attachment DIRectory (always using the attachment commands).

After doing this, you will be offered the option to copy and delete all the files from the former to the target folder.
