how to move files from one sharepoint site to another?

Question

I needed to move files that are in a folder on a SharePoint site to another SharePoint site, is there any way to transfer this data without having to download it locally and then upload it again?

Answer 1

@Samuel Santos,

Method 1: Using SharePoint Web Interface

Open Both SharePoint Sites:

• Navigate to the source SharePoint site where the files are currently located.
  • Open the document library or folder containing the files.
  Select and Copy: - Select the files you want to move. - Use the "Copy to" or "Move to" option, which can usually be found in the toolbar or context menu.

Choose Destination:

• Navigate to the destination SharePoint site.
• Open the document library or folder where you want to move the files.
  • Use the "Paste" option to complete the move.

Method 2: Using SharePoint PowerShell Commands

1. Install SharePoint Online Management Shell:
   • If you haven't already, install the SharePoint Online Management Shell. You can download it from the Microsoft website. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35588
2. Connect to SharePoint Sites:

• Open SharePoint Online Management Shell.
  • Connect to both the source and destination SharePoint sites using the following commands:

    Connect-SPOService -Url https://<source-site-url> -Credential <YourCredentials>
    Connect-SPOService -Url https://<destination-site-url> -Credential <YourCredentials>
    
   

Use Move-SPOFile Command:

• Use the Move-SPOFile command to move files between sites:

  powershellCopy code
  Move-SPOFile -SourceUrl "/sites/SourceSite/Shared Documents/File.txt" -TargetUrl "/sites/DestinationSite/Shared Documents/" -Force
  

Replace the source and destination URLs and file names accordingly.
