(File)Mac上的(Mac)文件处理并不是特别棘手。例如，如果在 PC 和智能手机之间共享文件(sharing your files between PCs and smartphones)是您需要学习的技能，那么学习在Mac上移动文件是一个简单直观的过程。
通常，您只需使用光标选择要移动的文件，然后将其拖放到您选择的位置。但是，根据您想要的目的地，您的Mac可以完全复制或移动该文件(copy or move that file)。
在这里，我们将带您了解在Mac上处理文件的所有不同方法，包括将它们移动到相同的驱动器和不同的驱动器，以及将文件移动和复制到云端。
如何在同一个 Mac 驱动器上移动和复制文件(How To Move And Copy Files On The Same Mac Drive)
了解文件处理系统在Mac OS中的工作方式将帮助您提高工作流程的效率。一旦您了解了移动文件的不同方式，在 Mac 上备份文件(backing up files on your Mac)将变得毫不费力。
让我们从涉及文件处理的最基本的动作开始。将文件拖放到(Drag and drop)Mac上的同一驱动器上。当您这样做时，您的计算机将自动移动(move)该文件而不是复制它。
- 单击(Click)要移动的文件以将其选中。
- 将文件拖动到新位置时按住鼠标按钮。
- 当您将其放入新文件夹时，您会看到该文件已从其原始位置移动到新目的地。
如果您的目标是将文件保留在其原始位置，并在新的目标文件夹中保存它的副本(copy)，您将需要使用此键盘技巧来执行此操作。
- 单击(Click)要移动的文件以将其选中。
- 将文件移动到新位置时，按住键盘上的Option键（或Alt ）。
您会看到Mac不会移动文件，而是自动将其复制(copy)到新的目标文件夹。现在您可以看到您的计算机上存在两个相同的文件。
如何将文件传输到不同的驱动器(How To Transfer Files To a Different Drive)
当您在Macintosh HD(Macintosh HD)和另一个驱动器之间传输文件时， Mac的默认文件处理行为会发生变化。无论是外置驱动还是内置驱动，系统的自动响应都是复制(copy)文件而不是移动(move)文件。这是因为您的Mac假定您正在备份文件。
- 单击(Click)文件或文件夹以选择它。
- 通过将其拖动(dragging)到不同的驱动器 将其移动到不同的位置。
- 当您放下(drop)它时，您会看到Mac会在新驱动器中创建它的副本(copy)，而不是将其移动到那里。
如果您只想保留新创建的文件副本，您可以删除(trash)原始文件以将其删除。或者您可以使用此技巧首先将文件移动(move)到另一个驱动器而不是复制它。
在拖放文件之前，请在选择文件时按住Cmd ( Command ) 键。将其放入新目标后，您会看到您的计算机上现在只有一个文件。这可以节省您的时间和内存空间。
如何将文件从 Mac 移动和复制到 iCloud(How To Move And Copy Files From Mac To iCloud)
如果您选择在线传输和存储文件(transfer and store your files online)，重要的是要知道您的Mac配备了Google Drive、DropBox等服务的绝佳替代品。iCloud Drive是一个内置选项，您可以使用它来存储和访问(store and access your files by other iOS devices)同一Apple ID下的其他 iOS 设备上的文件。另外，由于它已经是您Mac的一部分，因此不需要任何第三方登录或下载。
在 iCloud Drive(Drive)中移动和复制文件就像在Mac上的其他地方传输文件一样简单。
当您将文件从Macintosh HD拖放(drag and drop)到 iCloud 时，您计算机的默认响应是将其移动(move)到那里。
如果您想保留原始文件并在 iCloud Drive上保存一份副本，请在将文件移动到新位置时按住键盘上的Option键（或Alt ）。这样，您将文件复制(copy)到 iCloud。
使用文件处理键盘快捷键(Use The File Handling Keyboard Shortcuts)
提升用户体验并成为更高效的Mac用户的一个好方法是学习基本的Mac键盘快捷键。在文件处理方面，两个键盘快捷键将迅速将您变成高级用户。
大多数用户从使用计算机的第一天起就知道的终极键盘快捷键。您可以使用它在Mac上的任何位置(Mac)复制(copy)和粘贴(paste)任何文件，而无需触摸鼠标或触摸板。

How to Move Files in Mac OS X
File handling on a Mac isn’t partіcularly tricky. For example, if sharing your files between PCs and smartphones is a skill you need to learn, learning to move files on Mac is an easy intuitive process.
Normally, you’d just select the file you’d like to move using the cursor, and then drag and drop it to the location of your choice. However, depending on your desired destination, your Mac can either copy or move that file altogether.
Here we’ll take you through all the different methods of file handling on a Mac, including moving them on the same and to a different drive, and moving and copying your files to the cloud.
How To Move And Copy Files On The Same Mac Drive
Understanding the way the file handling system works in Mac OS will help you make your workflow more efficient. Once you learn the different ways of moving the files around, backing up files on your Mac will become effortless.
Let’s start with the most basic move when it comes to file handling. Drag and drop a file on the same drive on your Mac. When you do that, your computer will automatically move that file rather than make a copy of it.
- Click on the file you’d like to move to select it.
- Hold down the mouse button while you drag the file to the new location.
- When you drop it into the new folder you’ll see that the file has moved from its original place to the new destination.
If your goal is to keep the file in its original location, as well as have a copy of it in the new destination folder, you’ll need to use this keyboard trick to do it.
- Click on the file you’d like to move to select it.
- Hold down the Option key (or Alt) on the keyboard while moving the file to its new location.
You’ll see that instead of moving the file, your Mac will automatically copy it to the new destination folder. Now you can see that two identical files exist on your computer.
How To Transfer Files To a Different Drive
The default file handling behavior of your Mac changes when you transfer files between the Macintosh HD and another drive. No matter whether it’s an external or an internal drive, the system’s automatic response is to copy a file rather than move it. That’s because your Mac assumes you’re backing up your files.
- Click on the file or folder to select it.
- Move it to a different location by dragging it to a different drive.
- When you drop it, you will see that Mac will create a copy of it in the new drive rather than move it there.
If you want to only keep the newly created copy of your file, you can trash the original to remove it. Or you can use this trick to move your file to another drive in the first place instead of copying it.
Before you drag and drop your file, hold down the Cmd (Command) key when you select the file. After you drop it in the new destination, you’ll see there’s only one file on your computer now. This saves you time and memory space.
How To Move And Copy Files From Mac To iCloud
If you’re choosing to transfer and store your files online, it’s important to know that your Mac is equipped with a great alternative for services like Google Drive, DropBox, and others. iCloud Drive is a built-in option that you can use to store and access your files by other iOS devices under the same Apple ID. Plus, since it’s already a part of your Mac, it doesn’t require any third-party logins or downloads.
Moving and copying files to and from the iCloud Drive is just as easy as transferring your files elsewhere on your Mac.
When you drag and drop a file from Macintosh HD to the iCloud, your computer’s default response will be to move it there.
If you want to keep the original file, as well as have a copy of it on the iCloud Drive, hold down the Option key (or Alt) on the keyboard while moving the file to its new location. That way, you will copy your file to iCloud.
Use The File Handling Keyboard Shortcuts
A great way to upgrade your user experience and become a more efficient Mac user is to learn the essential Mac keyboard shortcuts. When it comes to file handling, two keyboard shortcuts will quickly turn you into a power user.
The ultimate keyboard shortcut that most users will have known since day one of using a computer. You can use it to copy and paste any file anywhere on your Mac without touching your mouse or a touchpad.
- Cmd + C & Option + Cmd + V
This shortcut is a little less known. Just add the Option key to the second part of the copy-paste action and you will move your file to the new destination instead of creating a copy of it.
File Handling Made Easy
Moving your files on Mac is rather simple. Once you understand how it works, you can move on to learning how to move files between different devices. A useful skill when you need to migrate files from Windows PC or transfer your data from Android to Mac.
