1) command+drag = move
2) option+drag=copy
3) option=command+drag=make alias(shortcut)

File management within the same drive/partition:
1) The act of drag-drop alone will move the file. There is no need to use “command+drag”
2) If you want to duplicate the file. Then option+drag is what you want (as others have pointed out, a green circle with a “+” will be displayed under the curser).

File management across two different drives/partitions:
1) Drag-drop alone will duplicate the file onto the second drive by default. Option+drag not necessary.
2) If you wish to move the file (leaving no copy on the original drive), then command+drag comes into play. The green-circle with the “+” icon will disappear from beneath the cursor.

Both cases:
3) Making aliases is the same for each. alt+command+drag

Despite enjoying a level of success that would turn most people’s heads, Schilling, now 38, remains unchanged and is universally regarded as one of the nicest people in this (or any other) business. These are all things you have likely heard before, but to borrow a line from Paul Harvey, now it’s time to tell “the rest of the story.”
