Setup OneDrive for Business to move files and metadata to Sharepoint Online
Hello! I am needing assistance to figure out the best way to complete this process. I will explain what we are currently doing and if there is a better way please let me know. I have a team of p...
- Teams 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.
Yeah OneDrive isn't really meant to mess with the Libraries etc. Your best bet here would be to Create a Team to collaborate on these documents, if you don't already use Teams. Or you could use another "Collab" or Working library that you use where the Team collaborates on. You can even Share from this library just like OneDrive. Set it up the same as the destination and the MoveTo command should work. Worse case if it's not, you could make use of Flow, do an approval process which includes you as the approver, and when you approve, move the file using flow along with the metadata.
Hi ChrisWebbTech,
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?
