Copying a document to another folder, from the document itself
It seems that MS is missing the functionality to copy a document to another folder, from the document itself.
When working in a Google Doc you can use the 'file' drop down to 'add shortcut to drive', which then allows you to add a copy of the document to any of your Google folders. This is especially helpful when collaborating on a document created by a member of another team (within their own folder structure) and you want to add a copy/shortcut of that document into your teams' folder structure.
Does anyone know if this is indeed missing or a way to do this?
