Move and Copy Files Although the Home folder offers locations for common file types, you can store files and folders nearly anywhere. Getting them there is easy. - Open two new windows: one containing the item you want to move or copy, and one for the location where you want the file to end up. To move a file, click and hold the mouse button, then drag the file to a new destination. To copy a file to the destination, hold the Option key as you drag; a plus sign (+) icon appears on the cursor to indicate a copy is being made (Figure 4.2, on the next page).
