Hi Justin, if you want to move the content you can only export the files by explorer view and Import the files in a new library by explorer view. If you have a lot of META-data at these files you dont have any limitations. But if you have these META-data only on the fileobject in the document library you will loose that all.

What you can do is:
(1) Use a third party tool to be able to export your list and list contents to another location.
(2) Use open source tools such as the PnP Provisioning Engine to export your list structure and import in another location + write some code to move the information from your source document library to the destination one.
