Google Drive – How to Copy a File Using Web Interface

google-drive

I want to copy a file in my Google Drive using the web interface. Adding it to another folder seems to create a hard link rather than a file that can be changed independently of the original. There doesn't appear to be an action with a name like "copy," "duplicate," or "clone."

Best Answer

Yes. While editing the document open the File menu and select Make a copy...

You can optionally copy the collaborators from the original document. Comments are not copied.
