Copying files between different site libraries fails.
Thanks for this answer. Seemed odd to me the the photo library is treated differently, but you nailed the problem! Thanks

Not sure if I'm missing something dead obvious but I selected the photo library. Is that not the modern one?
- Mar 15, 2019I don’t think it’s been converted. But I select document library and use it for photos. Because of previews and the tiles view you can filter off metadata etc. I did it because photo library wasn’t modern at the time.

Actually, and update.
I went back and added a photo library as you mentioned. I, being the admin, had forgotten the default for these libraries is classic. So, I went into library settings, advanced settings, and set the library to modern, not classic.
Presto, copy anything to the external site and the document library and "test set" (which is the photo library) both show up as destinations. <insert happy dance>
I wanted to close the loop on the modern comment you made. It is modern unless you system default is classic. Box checked.
Thanks, Chris
