Copying or Moving Files from SharePoint to OneDrive for Business OD4B

 

Introduction

 

SharePoint is a great place to store and work with files. OneDrive for Business is also becoming a popular tool to work with files. There are many common use cases arising where a person may work with some files on their One Drive for Business (OD4B), and then at a later point decide to publish them or copy them to SharePoint.

 

Challenge

 

The challenge is there is no easy way to do this. You do have the option of using Explorer View to copy the files. But that has some limitations. You cannot do it within the browser itself.
