Select Choose location. Select the new location and click Move. If you're moving the folder to another drive, select the drive letter. Depending on the size of the folder, it may take a few minutes to move. Enter your email address into the OneDrive app window. He is not allowed to move back to the root of the drive, which is perfectly OK. What NEEDS TO HAPPEN is not allow John to move Folder B to Folder A in the first place and vice versa. However, WE NEED John to own everything (files and subfolders), rename, delete, add, create inside Folder A and B but not allow him to move one folder to another.
Reading Time: 9 minutesDate last verified and updated: July 2018Document management is an integral part of SharePoint. An important activity to understand about managing a document is how to move it if the need arises. For example, a document may start in an end-user’s OneDrive for Business library, but eventually may need to move to an organizational Team Site or a document living in a Team Site may need to move to a Communication site or Document Center to be made available to a wider audience. You may also have a need to move a document to a different library or folder right within the same site.Like most things in SharePoint there are several ways to get the job done. I’ve come up with 10 of them and will describe each of them along with their pros and cons!TLDR?
This is a fantastic article! Very helpful for users and administrators. However, I have a question for you. I defined a custom content type with some meta-data and the content type has been added to two different libraries. When I copy a document or folder from one library to the other, the meta-data is not preserved. Also, I cannot tell what content type each particular document or folder is. Do you have any tips for trying to troubleshoot this issue where custom content types are defined on both source and destination libraries but meta-data is not preserved during a copy?
Hi Christopher, great question! First, you will need to determine what the content type is to ensure that you have the same content type on both the source and destination library/list.

One way to do this is to add it to a library view. If the content types are the same on the source and destination sides (i.e. The site columns are named exactly the same then the values should copy over successfully) In fact, as long as the columns are the same, the content types can in fact be different and the column values should successfully come across. Let me know if that helps.JCK.
