Is there a way to MOVE files??

Anytime you are dragging files from one location to another, press and hold Option once you begin the drag. This will make the drag perform the other function.

If it's normally a move, Option will make it a copy.

Hope that helps.

That's not true. Option-drag is always copy. Command-drag is always move.

Sorry to hijack the thread. I wanted to MOVE a file from desktop to external drive, I pressed cmd+drag, but it was still a COPY action. Could anyone please help?

EDIT: sorry, it was sorted out.
