Quick answer
Dragging between folders can move an item rather than copy it. Check the destination and use explicit Copy and Paste when you intend to keep both copies.
Understand the issue
A move within the same device and a transfer to another device can behave differently. Practice with an unimportant file before reorganizing a large folder. Confirm the actual full paths so similarly named folders do not confuse the check.
Step-by-step checks
- Look in the folder where you dropped the file.
- Use Copy and Paste for a deliberate duplicate.
- Verify the destination copy opens before changing the original.
