Importing Premade Assets from the File Browser
Dragging and dropping files or copying and pasting them into the Unity Project folders is another method of bringing assets into your Project. This works in the same way as importing them from inside of Unity, only through your system’s file browser.
Warning
Remember that this is an acceptable way of adding assets and files to your Project, but be advised not to shuffle them or delete them. Unity attaches information to these files (metadata) as well as connections to other assets and GameObjects. It is a much safer approach to make these types of changes within the Unity Editor.
