Moving files between private and non-private channels inside the same Team
Hi maclura,
In the new file experience, you can move files in Teams between a private channel and a standard channel and vice versa. However, currently you cannot move folders, so if you need to move a folder or folder structure then recreate it in the destination channel and move the files into the required folder.
You may or may not have the new file experience currently as it is rolling out globally. See Microsoft 365 Roadmap

If you don't have the new experience yet, you may need to wait a little longer. If you can't wait you could always look at a workaround to sync the Teams to the local desktop and move them that way.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris

ChrisHoardMVP I know this is an older post. But I am trying to figure out if FOLDERS and not just files can be moved as well. If FOLDERS can not be moved this seems like clear deficiency and oversight.
