Explanation

COPY INTO <location> is Snowflake's bulk data unload command that exports data from a table or query result into files in either an internal or external stage (e.g., Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, Google Cloud Storage). PUT uploads files from a local machine to an internal Snowflake stage. GET downloads files from an internal stage to a local machine. INSERT adds rows into a table, not a stage. Only COPY INTO <location> handles unloading to external stages.
