Moving files between private and non-private channels inside the same Team
Hi maclura,
In the new file experience, you can move files in Teams between a private channel and a standard channel and vice versa. However, currently you cannot move folders, so if you need to move a folder or folder structure then recreate it in the destination channel and move the files into the required folder.
You may or may not have the new file experience currently as it is rolling out globally. See Microsoft 365 Roadmap
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?featureid=30548Blog to move files in the new file experience is here

If you don't have the new experience yet, you may need to wait a little longer. If you can't wait you could always look at a workaround to sync the Teams to the local desktop and move them that way.
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
Did you create the Form and Excel in OneDrive itself? So the two are linked together? Basically created Forms for Excel in OneDrive?
Best, Chris
- Hey! So I went to Forms and started a new one. I had the form filled out and then clicked the Open Excel option. Its all in OneDrive if I am correct in my thinking.
- Ok. This one is a bit difficult because it's hard to say without looking on a Teams call or something where the form was created. However from your description and actions it sounds like this form has been created through OneDrive because when you do that the excel is also housed in your OneDrive. Basically, if you try to move that into SharePoint it's going to break the form. Do you have the opportunity to start the form again or do you absolutely need to move it into SharePoint with existing data? If you can go into the Forms app at https://forms.office.com and select a group (corresponding to the Team) and create a new form there: all people should have access. If you absolutely must use existing data then I'll look into it further and see if you can migrate one created in OneDrive into SharePoint
Best, Chris- I really appreciate your help. The form is so huge and complicated that I would absolutely want to find another way around this. If you have the time and can figure this out, then I would love it. Thank you again!!!
