I think what the user is trying to say: I’m moving a large number of files to different locations. So selecting a large number of files and copy pasting isn’t really helpful. I can imagine navigating to a folder, selecting the right file, copy, navigate to the other folder, paste etc. to be very inefficient. I can imagine in such a case a copy to / move to feature is useful and I have seen that feature in a lot of other places.

Of course the user would be helped somewhat if he understood what cut meant and the other commenter isn’t really helpful in this aspect. Just saying: “There is cut” doesn’t help if the user doesn’t understand what cut means.

Also calling a user out like this is really uncool, the user obviously doesn’t have English as a first language and/or has trouble expressing their selves. This doesn’t invalidate them or their request.

Tbh I am not surprised there are people who don’t know what cut is. When I was in school a lot of people around me though it was just the graphical button to delete things. I think UI tried to solve the problem since them : cutting won’t delete a file but will just shade it, which makes it more obvious that you should do another action.

This is barely related, but I’ve recently discovered it using Firefox and just wanted to share my misery. If you’re not using Chrome with the Google Docs extension, then Google Sheets will REFUSE to let you copy and paste with a right click context menu. But you can just press the keyboard keys to do so, or use the menu options to do so.

Like…what? It works, but they refuse to let you do it with the context menu, despite including them in the context menu.

If you try, it pops up a window and tells you that you have to install their extension or pound sand.
