 A file or folder can be copied or moved to a new location by dragging and dropping with the mouse, using the copy and paste commands, or by using keyboard shortcuts.
 </p>
 <p>
-As an example, copying files can be useful when creating a folder which contains files to email to a friend or coworker, or when <link xref="files#backup">backing up</link> individual files to an external disk.

-<item><p>Click and drag the item from one window to another. By default, dragging an item will <em>move it</em> if the destination is on the same device (i.e. if both folders are on the same hard disk on your computer).</p>
-  <p>Dragging will <em>copy it</em> if the destination is on a difference device, such as a USB storage device, however. You can override this:</p>

+For example, you might want to copy a presentation onto a memory stick so you can take it to work with you. Or, you could make a back-up copy of a document before you make changes to it (and then use the old copy if you don't like your changes).</p>

+ <p>Click and drag the file from one window to another. This will <em>move it</em> if the destination is on the <em>same</em> device, or <em>copy it</em> if the destination is on a <em>different</em> device.</p>
+ <p>For example, if you drag a file from a USB memory stick to your Home folder, it will be copied, because you're dragging from one device to another.</p>
+ <p>You can force the file to be copied by holding down the <key>Ctrl</key> key while dragging, or force it to be moved by holding down the <key>Shift</key> key while dragging.</p>

 <note>
  <title>Why can't I copy/move a file?</title>
  <p>You can't copy or move a file into a folder that is <em>read-only</em>. Some folders are read-only to prevent you from making changes to their contents. You can change things from being read-only by <link xref="nautilus-file-properties-permissions">changing file permissions</link>.</p>

+ <p>This topic would be ideal for expanding sections. All of the sections would be collapsed by default, so the topic would look sparse, but then the reader could expand the section reflecting their preferred choice of interaction.</p>
