Right now we have 2 ways to move files and 1 way to copy files. First is drag and drop. It moves files, or copies if you hold Ctrl. The second one is "Move To" context menu option, which shows a nice folder tree, where you can select target directory and your file(s) is/are moved.
The Move To option is particularly nice, because you can easily move files between folders that are very far apart (which is not that convenient with dragging). So I though - what if the dialog had copy option? And then I also refactored both operations and added some extras.

Move To was renamed to Move/Copy To, and it becomes copy when you select a checkbox. Previously when you copied files, the new files were just renamed in case of conflict. And when you moved files, there was a confirmation dialog for overwriting. This is now unified. Both operations now ask you in case of conflict and offer "Keep Both" option that renames the file. Which means you can copy & overwrite and move & rename (to File (2) etc.).
