Copying a file in Document360 Drive creates a duplicate in a destination folder of your choice — similar to a copy-paste action. The copy is saved as an independent file with its own CDN URL, separate from the original.
Why copy files?
You may need to copy a file when:
Reusing media across folders — You want the same file available in multiple folder locations without moving the original.
Creating variations — You need a base version of a file to edit or repurpose, while keeping the original intact.
Reorganizing without risk — You want to place a file in a new structure before removing the original.
Before you begin
You must have access to Document360 Drive.
The destination folder must exist within the same project. Copying files across projects is not supported.
Only one file can be copied at a time.
How to copy a file
Open Drive from your Document360 project.
Select the file you want to copy.
Click Copy in the top menu bar. The Copy files dialog appears.
Locate the destination folder, either by typing its name in the search bar or by browsing the folder list manually.
Click Copy.
The duplicate file appears in the destination folder with the prefix Copy of added to the original filename.
NOTE
The copied file gets a new CDN URL, independent of the original. If you link articles to this file, use the new URL from the copied file's location.
Best practices
Rename after copying — The "Copy of" prefix is a placeholder. Rename the file immediately to something meaningful so your Drive stays organized and files are easy to identify.
Use copy intentionally — Every copy is a separate file that takes up storage. Avoid duplicating files unnecessarily; link to the original where possible instead.
Track your copies — If you copy a file to update or replace it later, make a note of which articles reference the copy's URL so you can update them when needed.
