SharePoint Online - Cannot move folder to a different site
It has been fixed. "Move" works for big files (over 600MB) and many items as before.
Working with MS on this problem in our new tenant as well. In the old tenant it worked in November.
MS support didn't mentioned such limits as there are site to site Copying/Moving operation requirements:
- No more than 100 GB total file size
- No more than 30,000 files
- Each file must be less than 2 GB
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/servicedescriptions/sharepoint-online-service-description/sharepoint-online-limits#:~:text=Copying%2FMoving%20multiple%20files%20in,be%20less%20than%202%20GB
Need to rebuild a full site 200GB in total, 500MB for a bunch of files is crazy limitation.
Also I see another bug that we had this summer: if I try to upload files via SPO site GUI, I need to click upload twice before it will open file explorer to choose files.
Definitely something is wrong with our tenant.
Quoting here...
"So the answer is not what I was expecting. I assume your library is under 30,000 items and the file sizes you are trying to move with the copy function are within service limits. We have the exact same case on a different tenant. I find this difficult to describe so I am working off the article where this is noted.
Allow or prevent custom script - SharePoint in Microsoft 365 | Microsoft Docs
It says you must either allow if not allowed or disallow if allowed Custom scripts on that site. The idea is, the file size is governed by settings or detected as Custom scripting settings. This may be more explicable to you. Does that make any sense?"
microdot187 what does that reply mean? What does custom scripts have to do with it. I have the same problem with just trying to move a single folder with 7 items under 1 Mb total size. Moving another folder in the same location with 76 items >1 Mb works just fine.
If you can't copy/move between sites at all - this may be relevant
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/allow-or-prevent-custom-script
If SharePoint was set up for your organization before 2015, your custom script settings might still be set to "Not Configured" even though in the SharePoint admin center they appear to be set to prevent users from running custom script. In this case, users won't be able to copy items between SharePoint sites and between OneDrive and SharePoint. On the Settings page of the SharePoint admin center, to accept the custom script settings as they appear, select OK, and enable cross-site copying.
Vishal Sethexactly... i did as i was told and diligently followed their suggestions regardless... This could not be anymore of a vanilla site, these are not techy users and by design we kept it KISS...
Awaiting the patch...
microdot187 it was the 1st thing that MS support checked. I tried to switch global tenant and site CustomScript settings at my old tenant, and it didn't help. Still waiting reply from MS.
500MB OneDrive move limitation shouldn't be applied to site-to-site or library-to-library move tasks.
