  1. I want "Send to" to copy, not move, files.


    In Windows 10, on my old laptop, I could "send to" and have a file copied to Dropbox. On my new laptop, "send to" is only moving such files. I don't want to move these files! Is there a setting I have to change?


    Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Java.nio.file - Copying files

    You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
    You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
