Move and Copy of Files in OneDrive App for IOS in connection with Shared Libraries
This thread is old, but thought I'd answer in the hopes that this might help as none of the other answers were worth much.
Answer is for IOS 17.4
If you go into the Files app on IOS and click on the ... blue buttons in the top left hand corner it will let you select files. Once you select files an icon will appear in the bottom of the screen showing a box with an arrow pointing up out of it. Selecting this will bring up a list of apps to upload to with OneDrive being one of them if you have it installed. selecting onedrive will let you browse the folder structure and put the selected files where ever you want them. This can be done in the Photos app as well on you would click on the select word at the top of the screen and the box with the up arrow is at the bottom as well
To move files around in the once drive app, use a PC, it's easier.
jamesholthaus , yes, this kind of works.
BUT... when the OneDrive folder is "explored" for the first time, it takes a while for the contents to "register". We must give Files an opportunity to know that the subfolders exist. And often, this will give an error that the file or folder does not exist. Especially when we are already in the process of copying or moving a file.And this error message (presuming we didn't wait enough for Files to register the folder) gives the impression that file copy or move is not working.
jamesholthaus Following the proposed route I cannot select a folder shared either by me or someone else. Also moving from my personal Onedrive to a shared folder is also impossible
