but the files are *not* on a remote server. They are on your disk in
your home directory. You just work on them there or drag them in or out
depending on whether you want them in or out of that area of your home
directory. It is just a portion of your home directory where a remote
server peeks in every so often and looks at what you have there. If you
hold control down whilst dragging then it will create a copy, but I
don't quite get why you would want two copies of it by default.
