Hello,

Copying files and folders in MAUI is done in the same way as the C# Standard Library.

You could refer to the following C# provides a detailed example of how to make a copy.

I see in first link that if we want to copy all folders and sufolders is has to be in reursive way.

Is it a good approach ?

The main disadvantage of recursive traversal is that it can cause a stack overflow when there are too many recursions. But for folders, because there is a maximum path limit in the Windows operating system, and the depth of the folder is not tens of millions of layers.

Therefore, recursion can be used when manipulating files.
