SharePoint Online - Cannot move folder to a different site
- Jan 26, 2021
It has been fixed. "Move" works for big files (over 600MB) and many items as before.
Kimberly Roetman same thing just happened to me. I copy a synced backup of our student management database to a different library in the same site every Wednesday morning and have been for 2 years now, until today. The files are around 7GB and several sub-folders. If I have to copy smaller subsets that's going to be a pain. I just tried copying one of the smaller folders and it brings up the usual panel on the right. So now I'll have to create a bunch of folders first then copy the larger folders several bits at a time. I'm going to raise a support request.
Alan Birch Thank you! I'm relieved to know that I'm not alone, but really bummed if this change is permanent. I've moved thousands of files with the simple 'move to' function in the past without issue.

Similar issue found that within a subfolder I had 1000 image files. Tried deselecting thinking maybe it was a corrupt file. Come to find out if I select 139 image files I get the same message as soon as I drop to 138 move shows the other sites. I think its one of the bugs. I was then able to deselect all my folder that had images and everything was able to move.
