Difference between move and copy
Response from ALEGSA.com.ar:
When you move computer items (files, text, etc.), you are moving those items from one place to another. For example, moving files means moving them from one folder to another. Thus they will disappear from the original folder and will only be in the destination folder where it has been moved. This method is often also called Cut.
Meanwhile, when you copy computer elements, you are duplicating that element. That is, when making a copy there will be two equal elements.
After the copy, each element can be modified individually, therefore they become independent elements.
For example, when copying a file from one folder to another, the original folder will contain the file and the destination folder will contain an exact copy of the file. Now both are independent, they are already different files.
