Open up (double-click) My Computer. On one side of the screen, display but do not open the folder you want to copy from C drive. On the other side of the screen, open your Glory drive. Click and drag the folder icon from C up to Glory. You should see a box showing the files being copied, and you should get a copy of your folder on Glory.
You can do the same thing with individual files, if you do not wish to save everything in a folder. But beware. Sometimes it will just create a shortcut on Glory back to the C drive, instead of actually copying the whole file. So examine the new file icon on Glory and be sure it is a real file, not just a shortcut. Shortcuts have an arrow in the lower left part of the icon, and "Shortcut" as part of the name.
If you do get a shortcut instead of a copied file, erase it. Go back to your C drive window, and select the file to be copied. Choose Edit - Copy from the menu bar. Then click in the Glory Window and choose Edit - Paste from the menu in the Glory window.
You can speed this up and do multiple files at once. Click on the first one to select it. Then hold down Control as you click to select more files. Your copy and paste should then copy all the selected files.
