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.

    @James: today I can use the functionality as intended. Checked by someone else and works there too. Yesterday it didn't. I can't explain why :-(.
    I guess I'll have to investigate further and if neccesary I'll submit a service request....
    Thanks for you response.
