Copy and Move Files

Introduction

Learn what the difference is between copying and moving files, when to use each technique, and what the default behavior of your file manager is for dragging files. Again, the first part of this video will review how to do this on a Mac and the second part demonstrates this on Windows.

Exercises

2. Copy a file into Subfolder. Then delete the copy of the file (but NOT the original).
3. Create a new Word or text file named "Hello" and save it to Subfolder.
4. Create another new Word or text file named "HelloAgain" and save it to Subfolder.
5. Copy all files in Subfolder into FilePractice using Ctrl + A, Ctrl + C, and Ctrl + V.
