Using Move To or Copy To in SharePoint, OneDrive, or Teams

1. In the library, select the documents or folders and then click Move To or Copy To from the menu. You may have to select the three dots (...) to see the options.

1. • Move To will move the entire file and its version history to the new location.
     • This requires a user to have Contribute permissions or higher in both locations.
   • Copy To creates a new copy of the latest document in the new destination independent of the original.
     • This requires a user to have Contribute permissions or higher in the destination.
2. Select a destination and Move here.
   
   • Select More places... to find more locations. My files refers to your OneDrive.

UPDATE: If your destination location defaults to a single document library, you will need to use the document toggle to jump to the libraries in the site

 

 

Copy To/Move To not showing all possible locations

• Some users have reported that destination sites do not appear when copying or moving files from one location to another
• Ensure that you have followed your destination site
• If you only see the spinning wheel and no sites listed, try using Chrome instead of Firefox

Errors or Warnings about file size

When using Move To or Copy To there are limitations regarding file size and total size of all files to be copied.

When a file is moved, a copy is stored in the source site's Recycle Bin. It is subject to notification and 93 day retention unless recovered from the Recycle Bin.

Copying permissions

Copy To will not transfer permissions over to the new location. However Move To now gives you the option to keep permissions. Make sure to select the 'Keep sharing with the same people' box before Move here to maintain permissions.

Those individuals will receive a notification that the file has been moved. For further assistance on copying over direct permissions in the files, contact EASI SharePoint Support.
