Would it also be possible to copy files from SharePoint to OneDrive for business, or does this only work from OneDrive for business to SharePoint, also will it be stored in the metadeta, or would it be some trace of the fact that I copied the file from OneDrive to SharePoint?
Or can I use this to copy from one SharePoint Library to another SharePoint Library, that function is also really in demand.
Because what if someone updates the file in Onedrive for business, or in a "master-SharePoint-library" it would be great if that would be the "master-file" and i could just push out changes to all the places where this file have been copied to, like I could do with Content Types for instance.
Cheers!

Modern file management is built on top of https://blogs.office.com/2016/06/07/modern-document-libraries-in-sharepoint/, now fully rolled out to production. We know that many modern information workers begin content creation inside One Drive for Business, and then need to publish more finished content to a wider audience on a SharePoint team site.
Initially, you’ll be able to copy files from OneDrive for Business to destinations in SharePoint or OneDrive. Once you select a file inside OneDrive, you’ll see the Copy to option appear on the command bar. Copy to uses intelligence from the Microsoft Graph to display about your most frequently used sites, along with the option to browse to sites you’re following, as well as other locations within OneDrive.

Modern Copy/Move works for both modern and classic experiences on target team site document libraries. You can copy single files, multiple files, or whole folders, preserving metadata.
Today, there are two notable restrictions. At this point, each copy operation between OneDrive and SharePoint is limited to a maximum size of 50MB. If a user tries to copy a larger amount of data to SharePoint, they will be reminded that large file copies can only use the current OneDrive as a target. Also, files can be copied from OneDrive to SharePoint, but not yet from team site to team site.
We have more plans to enhance the Copy/Move functions in the coming months:
- Adding support for all file sizes, beyond today’s 50MB limit. (We know the vast majority of files in OneDrive are below this limit today.)
- Copy files among SharePoint team sites.
- Finally, we will also add the ability to move files, as well as copy files, among SharePoint Team sites as well as OneDrive sources.
Although this is an early version of these personal content management enhancements, we’re happy to start extending these capabilities to all information workers. Our rollout will start in August for First Release tenants, and will then proceed to full production over the coming weeks. Once this goes live, users will see “balloon help” inside OneDrive to alert them to the new capability.
