In both following options, we refer to the folder a document (or folder) you want to move is in as the source folder, and the folder that you want to move a document to as the target folder.

From the group documents page, there are two options.

Move a document or folder by drag and drop

Option A: using folders panel

Available when moving a document (or folder) within the same group, or another group that is shared to the group.

  1. First, in the folders panel on the left, use the caret-right icon and caret-down icon icons to ensure the target folder is visible.
  2. Then, in the folders panel, click the source folder to display the files in the main section. The document (or folder) to be moved is listed in folder contents seen in the main section of the page.
  3. In the main section of the page, click and drag the document (or folder) to be moved into the target folder in the folders panel on the left.

Option B: using main panel

You can only use this option to move a document into a subfolder of the source folder.

  1. In the folders panel, click the source folder. Both the document (or folder) to be moved and the target folder are listed in folder contents seen in the main section of the page.
  2. In the main section of the page, drag the document (or folder) to the subfolder in the main section.

Using the Move option

The Move document/folder dialog is available from the move icon Move option on the group documents page.
