Can I type a source or destination path instead of browsing?

Short answer: Yes. Type a normal folder path for local folders and drives, or account name, colon, folder for a cloud account (for example Work:Backup/Photos). Browsing fills these in for you.

Yes — the Source and Destination boxes are ordinary text fields. Use a normal folder path for anything on your Mac or a drive, and account name, colon, folder for a connected cloud account, for example Work:Backup/Photos. The account name is the one you gave it when you connected it.

Browsing with the folder and cloud buttons fills these in for you and avoids typos, so it's the easier route most of the time. Typing is handy when you already know the path or want to paste one.
