    Drag and drop or copy and paste files just as you would do with any normal Finder operation.

     

    The Time Capsule is located under the SHARED heading in the Finder.

    Click on the Time Capsule icon and double click the folder that appears representing the drive....named Data....unless you have changed the name......to mount the drive on the desktop.

     

    Drag/drop or copy/paste files to the icon on the desktop or to the open window there.
