Issue to move folders
Dear Virendrak,
Thank you for your quick reply — great to connect with you here.
I'd like you to know that the SharePoint interface now supports drag and drop, which allows me to move content directly into folders within the Site Dashboard. Your recommendations are very helpful, and I will be following them as an additional confirmation step.
You was a gentleman! 😃
Yes, SharePoint fully supports drag‑and‑drop in modern libraries. You can easily move files and folders using drag‑and‑drop. The only limitation is that if you are inside a folder, you cannot drag that same folder back to the parent level. To move it, go up one level and then drag it from there.
- If you are inside Folder A, you cannot drag Folder A itself back to the parent level.
- SharePoint blocks this because the folder cannot be moved while you are “inside” it.

Exactly.
I had verified it after on the last update. Thank you again for your splendid explanation.
Thank you very much for now up to here! So far so good now.
