Hi @Tevon2.0,

For now, in SP2019 the copy to action does not support moving folders between sites. We can only move the folder between libraries in the same site. Please refer to the following document

I feel regretful to inform you that it turns out to be a by-design one. And I noticed that some end users have also proposed the same request, it is highly recommended that you can vote this ticket. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. With requirements like this increase, the problem may well be released in the future. Thanks for your understanding.
