The C: drive is typically the main drive of your computer. The F: drive can be another primary drive, a secondary drive or even a removable drive. Transferring files in the office allows you to make backup copies of important documents, move files between computers and ensure the safety of your data. If the F: drive is a USB drive, the file will be copied to the drive; if it's a separate hard drive, however, the file will may simply move to the F: drive and cease to exist on the C: drive.
