Copy vs. Move, Explained

Every transfer lets you choose copy or move. The difference matters, especially for move — here's exactly what happens in each case.

The short version

  • Copy leaves the source completely untouched — the safest default if you're unsure
  • Move only deletes the source after the destination confirms a complete, verified upload — never before
  • A failed or interrupted move never deletes anything — the source is only removed on confirmed success

In practice

  1. Choose copy or move when you start a transfer.
  2. Copy: source stays, a new copy is written to the destination.
  3. Move: source is deleted only after the destination confirms the upload succeeded.

FAQ

What happens if a move fails partway through?

Nothing is deleted. The source is only removed after a verified, complete upload — a failure leaves the original exactly where it was.

Can I undo a move?

Not automatically — once the source is deleted (post-verification), it's gone from the source location. If you're unsure, use copy and delete the original yourself once you've confirmed everything landed correctly.
