Question

I want to move a file into another folder on sharepoint, I cannot find a drop down menu to allow me to do this, I can only create new folders etc

Answer 1

I found my solution!

I needed to click "see all" in order to work in the actual Document Library firstly, and then all the usual options were available.

Does this work for you also?

Answer 2

To move a file to another folder in SharePoint, you can follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the document library where the file is located.
2. Select the file you want to move by clicking on the checkbox next to it.
3. Click on the "Move to" button in the toolbar at the top of the page.
4. In the "Move to" dialog box, select the destination folder where you want to move the file.
5. Click on the "Move" button to complete the process.

If you are still having trouble moving the file, please let me know and I can provide further assistance.

Answer 3

Thanks kindly for your help, my drop down does not seem to offer me a 'move' option ?

Answer 4

Hi Julia, If you are not seeing the "Move to" button, it is possible that you do not have the necessary permissions to move files in the document library. You may need to contact your SharePoint administrator to request the appropriate permissions.

Answer 5

I have the same issue as Julia.

I am the SharePoint Administrator - I created this SharePoint - and yet I am unable to move a document into a newly created folder in the document library. There is no "move to" or "copy to" option.

Do you have another solution please?
