Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Partially related to a "problem".
The default action (in the native explorer) when dragging files/folders to another location is to MOVE the file if it is the same logical drive or COPY if dragging to a different logical drive.

In this app, the only action it performs is a MOVE, which may Not be the users intention.

Describe the solution you'd like
Either - change the behaviour to function like the native explorer DragDrop.
OR
Provide a setting to allow the user to choose the behaviour.

Describe alternatives you've considered
N/A

Additional context
Test this with 2 fixed logical drives on your system to see what I am describing.

Thanks for this suggestion!

As an alternative / in addition we should also support overwriting the default action when the user presses shift or control key:

  • Ctrl+Drag should copy the file
  • Shift+Drag should move the file (in situations where copy is the default)
  • Alt+Drag should create a shortcut to the file in the new location
