If you belong to an organization that uses both SharePoint sites and OneDrive for Business, then you might have had a need in the past to copy files and folders directly from the latter to the former. Until now, that’s not been possible, butMicrosoft today announced on the Office support sitethat files 50MB or smaller can now be transferred directly between the company’s cloud storage solution and its content management platform.

The process is as simple as selecting “Copy to” via the options for a file and selecting a SharePoint Team Site as the place to copy. You can do the same for folders.

Microsoft makes note of two limitations for the feature:

In addition, scripting for personal sites must be turned off in SharePoint in order for the copy feature to be available. Generally, Microsoft recommends turning scripting off as a security measure to protect sites from cross-site scripting attacks.

Microsoft continues to integrate their various services to provide the best “cloud-first, mobile-first” productivity solutions for their customers. Let us know in the comments if the ability to copy files from OneDrive for Business to SharePoint will be welcome in your organization.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
