- GeekyBear 4y agoBoth Macs and Windows have dragging and dropping from one folder to another on the same disk as a move, while dragging and dropping to a different disk is a copy.
- DangitBobby 4y agoNot sure why I thought it was a copy!
- voltaireodactyl 4y agoIt defaults to a copy when dragging to external drives (holding command makes it a move)
- reaperducer 4y agoDragging from one folder into another is also a copy operation on MacOS instead of a move like it is on Windows. Only if the destination is on a different volume. Like from a hard disk to a USB drive. Hold down the Command key while dragging a file between volumes if you really want Move instead of Copy.
