What Happens When You Move
  • The file appears in the new location
  • It is removed from the old location
  • Sharing permissions may change depending on the destination folder
  • Version history is preserved
Moving Shared Files

When moving files that are already shared:

  • External share links can continue working, depending on how the file was shared
  • File owner permissions remain in place
Moving Folders

Moving a folder also moves everything inside it:

  • All files inside move with it
  • All subfolders move with it
  • The folder structure stays intact
Undo a Move

If you moved something by mistake:

  • Use Ctrl+Z right away if the action can still be undone
  • Or manually move the item back to its original location
