Copying/Moving forms from OneDrive to SharePoint

Question

Hi&nbsp;Is it possible to move or copy a form I've created in OneDrive to SharePoint (on-prem and online)?&nbsp;Thanks:)

jcgonzalezmartin&nbsp;That wasn't really what I wanted to do. I want to move the Form completely to be 'hosted' on the SharePoint instead of my OneDrive.&nbsp;Forms don't seem to behave like normal files, so I am not sure if they can be moved or copied in the same way.&nbsp;ThanksPaul

You could transfer the ownership of the form - this makes an O365 Group the new owner of the form, and it then creates and stores existing and future responses in a new Excel file in the Group SharePoint site.

Were you able to find an answer to this problem? I am having the same issue

gsolorzano&nbsp;- I have a partial solution.&nbsp; The scenario here is that a person who created several important Forms is on long-term sick.&nbsp; Before they left, they added a number of collaborators who have been happily managing the Forms.&nbsp; As time has passed, one or more of the collaborators have moved on and those back-filling the roles are not collaborators and no one but the owner can add collaborators.&nbsp;Following the instructions in this article, (having first blocked the sign-in to the account of the person on long-term sick) I was given the option to move each of the Forms to either reside in "My forms" or one of "My groups".&nbsp; Unfortunately, the only groups that were offered were associated with Teams (none of which were appropriate destinations for the Forms).&nbsp; None of the traditional SharePoint Online Communication sites to which I was hoping to move the Forms were offered as destinations.&nbsp;For now, my admin account "owns" the Forms and I have been able to add relevant collaborators.&nbsp; (Short-term fix.)&nbsp;If I cannot work out how to to move the forms to a SharePoint Communications site, then I will have to convince the relevant departmental Head to maintain an appropriately secured Teams site (which, by nature, has an associated Group) so that I can transfer ownership to the Group.&nbsp;If anyone can help with moving an existing Form into a SharePoint Communications site, it would be much appreciated.&nbsp; (None of the discussion threads that I have come across that claim to have solved this problem have actually addressed the need expressed in this thread.)
