I'm with you. I do not understand the solution. I am not a SharePoint expert and this sounds like inside baseball to me. Lol.

I am with you. I was totally lost by this explanation but I've now figured it out. (hopefully since June this has all resolved for you, but just for anyone else). In Sharepoint, you have the Vertical menu of "Home, Conversations, Documents, Shared with Us" etc. PICKING/defaulting to "HOME" IS WHAT HAS GIVEN US THIS PROBLEM. Instead, go to "Documents", and start from there to navigate your folders and files. This way, when you click on the little 3 dot ribbon, "copy to" and "move to" are now options again.
