Copying Files using Drag and Drop​

You can transfer files between local and cloud storage using simple drag & drop.

Copy Between Two Remotes​

Drag files from one remote tab to another in RcloneView to copy them across cloud storages.

👉 For Multi-Select and Bulk Actions You can select multiple files at once to perform batch operations.

  • Use Ctrl + Click to select multiple individual files.
  • Use Shift + Click to select a range of files.

**👉 Drag & Drop Behavior **

  • Same remote = Move operation  
  • Different remotes = Copy operation
Hint
  • If you don’t want to see the confirmation popup during copy, uncheck the Confirm drag and drop checkbox.
  • To re-enable the popup later, go to Settings > General settings > Confirm drag and drop and check it again.
