Moving folders and files from a classic sharepoint site to a new team site.
- should be able to just enabled modern UI in the advanced settings on those libraries and get that command available to you.
Thanks for responding, Christopher.
Please note that I'm using SharePoint Online. The migration tool assumes an on-premises SharePoint or File Server. It will not attach to SPO as the source.
3rd party tools are not desirable, as this is a small company, and the cost is incredible (by our standards).
Someone on another site suggested saving the old site as a template with contents (and it's wonky, per the responder), but I'm also concerned about how that is actually going to be helpful as he gave no instructions on getting the document structure into the new site.
Any other ideas?
Hmmm, I thought it would do Online to Online, that seems meh.
Anyway, the new Move to command should be able to move this data from one site to another. Have you tried using that at all?

Move is not an option in the old style libraries, at least not in the context for folders containing files.
Rather frustrating, this.
Gotta run to a fire - Will be back online tomorrow morning. Any other ideas would be welcome!
Thanks for your assistance!

This worked! Thanks Christopher!
I had to hunt for the setting, but that's typical.
Do you know if there's a way to set this at a global level? It seems strange to have to go to each individual document library and set this parameter.
