Here is a Step by Step visual on how to move files into a bottle c: drive.

1. Launch Crossover and click on the bottle you want to move files into.



2. Click on the gear wheel and “Install Component”.



3. Search for Total Commander and Install. When done, it will be listed in the bottle as an application.

5. Go to the top left of Total Commander, click the dropdown and go to the Y: drive where your Downloads folder is located.




6. On the right column in Total commander the c: drive is already configured for the bottle. Double click on the Program files folder to open that folder.



7. It’s within here files can be dragged and dropped from the Downloads to the Program Files folder.



8. Open file explorer for the bottle and the files should be in the Program files folder now.



From here you can right click on an exe to open and run.
