  • Users who want to rename the file or folder that is being moved, specify the Name input field with the file extension if moving a file. Leave the Name input field empty if you are not renaming the file or folder.

  • Items cannot be moved between drives, users or groups using this request. For example, if the source file or folder in Drive A is moved to a destination folder in Drive B, then the Source file or folder is added to the root directory of Drive A, not the intended folder in Drive B.

  • By default, users cannot move a file or folder from a drive, users or group that belongs to another user.
