How to check status on SharePoint Online file move/copy?
OneTechBeyond I wish i knew this too. It's one major issue when copying/moving files in One Drive SharePoint online, the uncertainty. Anyone know?
Three years later and this is still a problem with moving folders on SharePoint. I never know whether you have to keep the browser open. Currently migrating some folders from a single document library to a SharePoint document library. I'm doing a four folders at once but nearly every time I get this message and can't track the progress. The move does still work though but is it in the background or foreground, who knows!
Just tried moving one of 335MB with 100 files, instantly got this error. However, the move is still running as I can see files disappearing from OneDrive sync and re-appearing in new location:
- Its something Microsoft really needs to address. With all the advancements they are making to OneDrive and Sharepoint its a real shame that things like this still exist.
- True - been using SharePoint, then Office 365 and now Microsoft 365 for many years and there are still many rough edges, File management IMO took a distinct step backwards from LAN based Windows servers.
