Copy

What is Copy?

In the context of cloud storage or file management, copy refers to the process of duplicating a file or folder from one location to another. When you perform a copy operation, the original file or folder remains in its original location, and an exact replica is created in the destination location.

Key Points:

• The original file or folder is not moved or altered.

• A duplicate is created in the chosen destination.

• The file or folder’s content and metadata (such as name, size, and permissions) are preserved in the copied version.

Example:

In QuantaShare, to copy a file to a different bucket, you would:

1. Select the file or folder.

2. Use the “Copy” action.

3. Choose the new location (destination bucket).

4. Complete the process by clicking the “Copy” button.

The original file or folder remains intact in its current location, while a new copy appears in the destination you selected.
