You might have to select Browse sites to see the site you want. If you don't see any other sites listed when you move items, your organization doesn't allow moving across sites. If you're a SharePoint admin or global admin for your organization, see Allow or prevent custom script to learn how to enable cross-site moving in the SharePoint admin center.

Select the location where you want the items to go, then select Move here to start moving the items. To learn about requirements when moving files, see this article under Moving and copying across sites. When you use Move to with documents that have version history, only the latest version is moved. To move earlier versions, you need to restore and move each one.

For more info about versioning, see Enable and configure versioning for a list or library. Contact Support If you still need help, contact support through your browser or shake your mobile device while you're in the OneDrive app.

You can drag and drop files into this library, create folders, move and copy files, and delete multiple files at once.

This is a great enhancement in usability in the browser. You may even select multiple files and drag them at once. The 'Send File' option allows you to copy one file from one location to another.

You basically select a file, click send, "other Location", and you are provided with a form to complete asking for the destination location and the destination file name. This works great if you have just one file to copy, however is not very user friendly as it asks the user for a complete URL with no browsing option. Users have to be advanced enough to open a new browser, navigate to the destination, right clicking and copying the exact path of the URL without any extra URL parameters.

A bit nonuser-friendly but works. Folders are not supported. It allows any end user to intuitively copy a file to clipboard, just like a standard windows copy file feature and then navigating to a destination folder or library and pasting it there.

It supports copying multiple files and folders across libraries, sites and site collections. You may copy multiple times to gather all the files needed as well. The Move to option will move your document with metadata and version history protection to a different folder within the same library, to another library, or to a different site.

This method is perfect for end-users, as it is simple and straightforward. It allows you to copy and move both files and folders. The best thing is that it retains content types, custom metadata version history, and the created, created by, modified, and modified by properties.

The Copy to command, however, only retains the most recent version — the main downside is obviously the fact that this method is exclusive to SharePoint Online. This is one of the best hacks that will help you move multiple documents simultaneously while retaining version history, created, created by, modified, and modified by properties.

Content-type and metadata are also retained using this method. Perhaps the biggest downside of this method is that you have to be a site owner to use it. Oh, and it only works within a single site. Simply activate the Content Organizer feature and then select the routing rules that you want to use and put the document that you want to move into the drop-off library. This method also allows you to move documents to any other site. It does take a while to configure, but you only have to do it once.
