Announcement: Copy and Move Files between SharePoint and OneDrive
Hi,
I did see the feature in my OneDrive library (and maybe in a teamsite, I'm not sure), but at this moment I only can copy/move to folders in the same location. The option to select another site or library by clicking on "places" suddenly is gone. Is this correct or should I raise a support call?

Within OD4B there is the option to move a file to another site, however the copy function will only allow the file to be moved to another location in OD4B. Within a team site document library the copy and move functions only support a location in the current site.
I remember seeing a slide that showed that copy and move functions will eventually be supported between OD4B and sites in both directions.

I don't get it anymore. Yesterday move and copy showed the same options: the only available locations were subfolders in my Onedrive library. Today I can copy to other sites/locations. I did notice in the past that not all options did show up every time, but I can't tell what's causing this. Very frustrating, because our users experience the same behaviour and I can't tell them what to do. Sometimes other locations are available, sometimes they are not.
JamesMallalieu: You say that "move" wil give the option to move to other sites while "copy" only show the current library. I hope that you did type that by mistake, because for me it's just the opposite.

EdjeZ yes, apologies it is just the copy option within OD4B that currently shows the option of other sites. I have tried this on a few tenancies and the behavior would appear to be consistant for both First Release and Standard Release users.
