To me this is not fine. Usually dragging from a different device(USB Thumbdrive <-> hard drive, SD Card <-> Thumbdrive, ....) should copy the files, and the cloud should be considered as another device.
Could a Mac user confirm if this is the default behavior on Mac devices?
- _mikz 11y agoI can confirm that dragging between devices does 'copy' by default. And dragging from iCloud to local drive does 'move' by default.
- agumonkey 11y agoIn general 'modification' by default is bad.
- _mikz 11y agoIt is what you expect on local drive. Windows do the same.
- agumonkey 11y agoIt is. That's why I quoted 'modification'. It's not a sensitive issue if it's easy to undo. Which is the case on a user selected files on a drive (unless it's between naive FS or sluggish drives). On a remote system, you'd have to reup the whole thing.
