Jack - without seeing the error message from your above code, I suspect that File_location is a cell array of paths to files and you are trying to use copyfile which copies a single file or folder from one location to another. I think that you will want to loop over every file (string) in File_location and call copyfile on that file.

This code works fine if i stop it and manually enter the fileAndPath output into replace the 'FileAndPath' in status = copyfile('FileAndPath', 'C:\Users\Desktop\copied')
but when i run it it gives output as follows with the status logical showing status = logical 0 (if i manually enter the FileandPath output it gives status = logical 1)
2×1 cell array
{'C:\Users\Desktop\619834.svs'}
{'C:\Users\Desktop\619839.svs'}
fileAndPath =
'C:\Users\Desktop\619834.svs'
status =
logical
0
Copying file C:\Users\Desktop\619834.svs with status 0
fileAndPath =
'C:\Users\Desktop\619839.svs'
status =
logical
0
Copying file C:\Users\Desktop\619839.svs with status 0>>

The error message is a type in my code (in the fprintf) where it is trying to reference a variable (fileAnPath) that doesn't exist. Try changing it to
for k = 1:length(File_location)
fileAndPath = File_location{k};
status = copyfile(fileAndPath, 'C:\Users\Desktop');
fprintf('Copying file %s with status %d', fileAndPath, status);
end
