Thank you for responding so quickly. The problem is that it has two different behaviors: 1) The use case that operates in the same partition, in this case copy; 2) The use case that operates on different partitions, in this case moves, I expect at least the same "copy" behavior, because I can move files or folders from backup, and I want the folder to remain on the backup. My concern is when I install Ubuntu to a few experienced people, in this case if they want to copy some documents to the USB stick, they could only find the copy on USB, since in this case nautilus moves the folders. I reported the BUG because I often have to restore the other copy to the original place.

Many times it happens that I have to copy files/folders and I find myself moving these files, is not very friendly as a user experience. I attach a screenshot to show what the Dolphin file manager does, and what I expect Nautilus to do.
