Move files off Sharepoint and onto OneDrive
Hello! My office wants to disassociate all our files from SharePoint and instead store them in OneDrive. How do I complete this action? Thank you!

Hello Ericka_Eppler
it's very important to knwo, that OneDrive is the name for different functions/tools:
1. OneDrive for Business is the users perosnal file storage (based on SharePoint)
2. OneDrive (NextGen Sync Client) is the client, that you can work offline (or in file explorer), but this files are stored everytime on SharePoint
What's your use case? Which OneDrive would you like to use?
In SharePoint Modern you can copy or move files direct over your command bar.
