Best practice for moving documents between sites/sitecollections
What is the best/most user friendly way to move files/folders from one site to another? Explorer view seems not to work with larger files.
The best and most user friendly way is to use paid third party tools (such as ShareGate), which usually move also metadata and previous versions.
Free solutions, which don't move metadata and previous versions, include:
- Explorer view (one-step)
- Drag&Drop between locally synced folders (one-step)
- Web UI (D&D or menus - in two steps)
- SPFileZilla (in two steps)
