Setup OneDrive for Business to move files and metadata to Sharepoint Online
- Nov 07, 2018Teams as is MIcrosoft Teams that sites on top of a SharePoint site connected to the same Office 365 Group. If you don't use Teams same thing applies to just creating another SharePoint site for collaboration purposes. Or you could have a separate Library on the existing site you have the published documents on. Restricted to yourself and then you can Share the folders/files from that library just like OneDrive. Then control the move from there to the published library.

I tried using OneDrive for Business with Microsoft Flow. But, even the flow is unable to access the metadata of a folder in OfB.
It returns empty values for all the fields of the metadata except for the ID. Is there a way to find the other metadata fields as well? - Tammy BrunsNov 07, 2018Copper Contributor
When you say "Teams" are you speaking of like a Team Room? Sorry new to all this.

You could also do this all from the SharePoint document library. Go to library settings and go to versioning. You want the following:
Require content approval for submitted item? "YES"
Create a version each time you edit a file in the document library? "Create major and minor (draft) versions Example: 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.0"
Limit the numbers as you see fit in the next two boxes (or don't)
Who should see draft items in the document library? "Only users who can edit items"
From there, have a security group with all of your people in it and give that group "Edit" rights to the library.
Create another security group with you in it that has "Approve" rights.
This works well with Microsoft Teams as Chris has been explaining, but it works entirely within the SharePoint framework so you don't have issues regarding Metatags (columns), and if you have to move an item to another library, as long as the Metatags are the same, it transfers without issue.
Good luck...I just saw this looking for info on a different issue so I know it has been awhile since you first posted this question.
