Expected FAQs

Why can I not copy/move files between the file system and OneDrive providers?

In PowerShell, Copy-Item / Move-Item only works within the same provider. Use Get-Content and Set-Content to copy files between file system and OneDrive providers.

Why can I not copy files with new names?

In this implementation, you can only specify a destination folder path for Copy-Item and Move-Item, and you cannot include the destination file name in it. This restriction comes from some limitation on how MOVE and COPY method behave in Live SDK REST API.
