Can you move or copy an image from Photos to Files? I have some images and movies that I would like to move or at least copy from Photos to Files. When I Air Drop an image or movie to the phone or pad it automatically goes into Photos. This isn’t content I want in my Photos library. Is there any way to move or copy it into Files? Thanks very much.
