Missing sites under Destinations when I try to move or copy files in modern library
- Feb 15, 2019
Jan Andreas Knudsen I don't believe there is another way except to "Follow" the site prior to the copy / move operations.

Y_Svesh I appreciate the idea but it doesn't work for me. Obviously this is a weakness. I understand the feedback that putting in the URL isn't ideal but for those where this isn't working give us another option. We have multiple sites and the one I cannot access now I even have tagged as a favorite. My only option this is to sync the folders, and move and wait for OneDrive to update them all (not a fast process with a move). Anyone have any hope for an alternative to be able to use the move feature to ensure we can see all the sites we have access to?
DavidBerndt Here we are in June of 2021 and this still doesn't work. This is beyond frustrating. Such a simple thing to do and you can't even choose your destination outside of a list that MS thinks you might want and doesn't even include all the Teams/SharePoint sites you're a member or admin of. No search bar?! Boggles the mind.

RobOK Fortunately, I was able to Follow the destination SharePoint site which then showed up as a destination for the Move. I shouldn't have to do that, though.
- Richard_McConnellJul 13, 2021Copper ContributorDestination site is still not showing up in Favorites 4 hours after adding it as a favorite. However, I did find a workaround in Teams, assuming both Source and Destinations sites are Teams-enabled. I was able to access the source files in Team1 / Files tab, and Copy to Team2 / General folder.
