When you drag and drop a file onto a batch, the file you have dropped is auto assigned as %1 (variable) and the commands inside the batch are then executed on that file.

For example, drag and drop any file onto this batch and that file will be copied to the folder C:\copies

Just be sure the folder you want to copy into actually exists first. If not, this won't work correctly.

copy %1 C:\copies
