# Copy, cut, move

### Copy and paste

You can duplicate files by either:

* Right clicking a file or folder and selecting **Make a copy**
* Selecting a file or folder and pressing `Command+C` (`Control+C` if you're on Windows), then navigating to where you want to paste your files, and pressing `Command+P` (`Control+P`). 
  * When you copy the files, you should see a small popup that looks like this:

### Cut and paste

You can also cut and paste files by pressing `Command+X` (`Control+X` if you're on Windows), then navigating to where you want to paste your files, and pressing `Command+P` (`Control+P`).  

Note that cutting will remove the files from the original location and move them to the new location, while copying will preserve the files in the original location and increase your storage usage.

### Move

You can move files in your file system by either clicking and dragging, or right clicking and selecting the **Move** option.

This will open a modal where you can select the new destination for the selected files.
