If I transfer the sample files from the DLS-Giga Samples folder, should I
keep an alias of them in the original folder?

I also downloaded the file: Natural Studio Kit.exs.  This, I assume goes in

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
