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:

• Internal sharing may be affected by the destination folder’s permissions
• 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
