All this discussion of put, place, add, position, etc is a bit metaphorical.
All you are doing is changing the name of the file. Even when you delete the
file, you are only changing its name till you clear your Rubbish bin. So, any
word that conveys your intention is OK - it really depends on the user -
certainly nothing to do with some spurious alleged professionalism. And if your
users have the intelligence of dried grass - like some I worked with recently -
then agree one word with them, and, as Warren did, choose a different word to
wake them from their 24/365.25 torpor.
