The "workspace" is just a folder where (in theory) all of your IDL
projects are going to live. I say "in theory" because it is possible
to create projects that live outside your workspace folder, but
knowledge of those projects is going to remain in the workspace folder
(in the .metadata folder that gets created in your workspace. You
should put this, I think, on a local disk.
You can then easily create a project in your workspace. Once you have
the project folder set up, just right-click the project and choose
the Import selection. You can import (copy) files from wherever you like
into the project folder.
Here is an article that might help explain some things for you:
