Have you ever been organizing your files, only to find that they have disappeared from their original location? If it is unclear whether you intended to copy or move the data, the more important the data, the more likely you are to lose track of it. Whether you're writing an essay, sending presentation slides, or showing your work to people at home, the ease with which you can convey your message depends on how you use the tools.
Copy to increase, move to change location
Copying means making another copy of the same thing. The original file will remain. Moving is moving something from one place to another. Although it may be easy in words, it is easy to mix things up when you are actually organizing them, so just knowing this difference will make your work much calmer.

Let's try copying and moving once with an unnecessary test file. If you move your hands, it becomes easier to see the difference.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we believe that these basic operations are also an important foundation. Knowing the small differences can reduce big mistakes.
