Use Case
The following activity illustrates how we use the copy file activity to copy the file “suth.txt”
from the documents folder to downloads folder.

2. Click on the activity.
3. Enter the path to which the file has to be copied.
4. Enter the path of the file which has to be copied.

The bot executes the activity and copies the file from the desktop to the documents
folder. Here it is only copying the file, hence the file will still be seen in the desktop.
