I will add this info about using the file manager in Puppy Linux.

Rox is the file manager.

It is a single window display with no file system tree.

Best way to use Rox.

Open two Rox windows.

Open a Rox window to a location you want to look at, showing what is in it.

Open another Rox window showing a location you want to copy or move something to.

Drag and drop between the two Rox windows.

Drag and drop will provide a few options, as you have seen in the video.

In each Rox window, you can navigate to different locations in the operating file system.

The things you do not tell us, are usually the clue to fixing the problem.

This is not what I expected :o

Suggest adding to the video how to properly UN-mount the SD card to remove it.

You show how to mount it, by left clicking on the desktop drive icon for the SD card.

But nothing on how to UN-mount it, so it can safely be removed.

Also a warning note:
Rox has an issue with very large size files.
It may indicate in the Rox widow that the copy or move is complete.
But the complete process is still being done in the background.

Good indication not completed.
The drive can not be UN-mounted.

When the process is completed.
Then the drive will be able to be UN-mounted.
