Overview
- Cut, Copy, and Paste operate exactly as when used in Windows File Explorer.
- Cut removes a file from one location and places the file in the location to which you Paste.
- Copy creates an additional copy of the file, making no changes to the original file, and places that copy in the location you Paste.
