No. Drag and drop is when you drag a file then drop it into the destination folder. You have moved a file from one place to another.

Copy and paste is when you copy a file then paste it into a different location. The original file still remains where it was, but there is how a copy of it elsewhere as well.

What is a drag-and-drop method in Excel?

To drag and drop is a way of moving something with the mouse. You are effectively dragging it from its current position and moving it and then dropping it into its new position. It is done visually, so you can see it happening, unlike when you do the same thing using Cut and Paste commands.


What happens when you drag a file or folder from one disk to another?

Where you drag from one folder to another on the same drive, Windows interprets this as a CUT/PASTE command and moves the file from one folder to the other. Where you drag a file to a folder on another drive, Windows interprets this as a COPY/PASTE command and creates a duplicate of the file in the target folder.

How do I copy and paste a text?

-If you want to copy from a source onto your own page, have them both open on your screen. Highlight the text and then drag it with the mouse to your own page. -If you want to copy text to another part of the same page, you have to have another, unrelated page open at the same time. Highlight the text and then drag it onto the other page. The original will stay where it is. Now drag the text back as many times as you want.

Does copy cut paste give the same result?

Copy-Paste makes a copy and leaves the original in place. Cut-Paste moves the original from the old location to the new location, and leave only one copy at the new location.
