Copying and moving folders and files

There are two methods available for copying files in Orion. The first method uses the clipboard:

1. On the Editing page Select the folders/files to copy.
2. Press Ctrl+C to copy the selected files.
3. Browse to the folder that you want to copy into, and press Ctrl+V to paste the source folders/files into this folder.

You can also copy and move files using menu commands.

1. On the Editing page Select the folders/files to copy or move.
2. Select Copy to or Move to from the Actions gear drop down menu.
3. Select a destination from the sub-menu or click Choose folder to pick a different destination.

Hint: Create a Favorite for any folder you frequently copy or move files into. Favorites are always displayed as destinations in the Copy to and Move to menus, so this saves you some additional navigation when selecting your destination folder.
