Copy Files from OneDrive to SharePoint

I have seen the announcement from August describing this copy to or move to function from OneDrive to SharePoint and have seen the pop up telling me I can do this.   However, when I try to "copy to" from OneDrive to SharePoint, the only option I'm given is OneDrive folders.  I'm not seeing any team sites and I'm not given the option to browse.   Any one else having this issue?

  • We can use the function, however, it only displays a certain amount of SharePoint sites, and often not the ones which we have 'favourited'. When we click 'Browse more', it displays nothing, meaning that we can't always copy to the site we want to!

      If I click browse more in my OneDrive, it displays the lists of all the sites where my user has access...so you might have an issue in your tenant

        I am on first release and when I try to do the copy from My OneDrive there is no option for browse more. I'm only presented with the list of folders currently in my OneDrive

  • It's being rolled out...I have it it one of my tenants:
    (1) You need to be in first release.
    (2) You need to disable custom script stuff at personal sites...remember that this change needs 24 hours to be applied

      Thanks jcgonzalezmartin - Regarding first release. Does the whole tenant have to be first release or will the change show up for a user in the first release group?

      I am on first release and I have the script turned off.  I am still not able to "browse" to a differnet location from within SharePoint.  OneDrive I have options to where I would like to "copy to", however not the proper folders. When I click on our team site the only folders I see are "Form Templates" and "Hold Reports".

        Nice approach to automate the copy of ODFB files to SharePoint...some re-work might be needed to decide what files have to be copied though
