The location of a file or folder is typically shown by its path, which is a string that describes the hierarchy of directories leading to the file or folder. For example, in a Windows system, a path might look like "C:\Users\Username\Documents\File.txt," indicating that the file is located in the "Documents" folder within the "Username" folder on the C drive. In graphical user interfaces, the path is often displayed in the address bar at the top of the file explorer window.

When you move a file, it is transferred from its original location to a new one, which is why it no longer appears in the original folder. This action essentially updates the file's location on the storage device. Unlike copying, which creates a duplicate in the new location while retaining the original, moving a file eliminates the original instance. Consequently, the file is only accessible from its new location.
In most file systems nothing, except its location in the hierarchy of folders.
A shortcut is a link, displayed the same as a file or folder, which, when you click on, takes you to a specified page or file in a different location.
Moving:Moving a file MOVES that file to another location, while copying creates another copy of the file to the new location and your original file remains at its original location. It is just like you take a file from your cabinet and place it in another one. It is Moving.Copying:you take a file, get a copy of it, place the original at its original place and the copy of that document to another location. it is Copying.
