So I'm trying to visualize your suggestion. Have the Copy directory with all the files, but then have an exact duplicate of the Copy folder where I would make the edit and then copy and paste that (is that what you mean by synchronize?) into the Copy directory?

I don't know. I tried it on a small scale. It worked when I added something to a text file, but when I deleted a photo, the photo still showed up in the Copy folder.

Maybe I should just keep everything in the Copy folder and anything I think is super important I can save to Google Drive or a USB flash drive.

Thanks.
I don't do it manually, I use a sync tool (or a rsync, in Linux Land), so it replicates add/update/delete in the Copy folder.
