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.
Has anyone heard back from Microsoft yet? I have a client suffering with this today.
I can put in a support request, but just wanted to check any other responses first.
Thanks!

paulcube6it I just got back to look at versions... if there are too many versions that push over the limit, that could be the culprit. For us, that was not the case, so still working on this with Premier.

I raised issue with O365 support and was informed this is by design and the Move To and Copy To options can only handle up to 500MB and should use the OneDrive client to move files from OneDrive to Sharepoint Online site. It used to work fine in the online web portal but now its broken in my opinion.
Was told to vote on the feature request, at 38 votes can't see it being added anytime soon.

cgsis if that's the answer then so be it, but it changed and now we're left figuring out a new way for our users of who are not paid to be tech savvy... yet another failure of IT to be transparent to the end users. Anyway, thanks for the update, apologies for the gripe. Happy holiday to you!
