Moving Document Library to a subsite in SharePoint

Question

Currently, we have Document Libraries created in SharePoint Online and would like to move them using Powershell to its own Subsite. The reason we would like to move them is that we would like to keep the version history. Since we are dealing with 1000s of files, I would like to use Powershell to complete this task.

I am currently connecting to my SharePoint site using:

Connect-PnPOnline -Url "Sitename" -UseWebLogin

Here is where I need assistance. I am trying to use Move-PnPFolder but I am not sure how to write a command that would define the source, destination, and move of all files in the document library to a subsite that I have manually created.

Help please?

Answer 1

The command “Move-PnPFolder” only can move folder between libraries in the current web. It cannot move folders from parent site to subsite.

Move-PnPFolder

You could use the PowerShell script to move folder in SharePoint online. For more detailed information, refer to the article below.
