Move serverside between sharepoints doesnt work (Onedrive business)

Help and Support

What is the problem you are having with rclone?

Moving (server-side) across sharepoints is not possible. Rclone is switching to copy (server-side)

What i have checked so far:

  • Every sharepoint remote has its own client id and key
  • both Sites on the same tenant
  • API Permissions on both apps are
    Files.Read,
    Files.Read.All,
    Files.ReadWrite.AppFolder
    Files.ReadWrite.All
    Files.ReadWrite
    Files.Read.Selected
    Files.ReadWrite.Selected
    Sites.FullControl.All
    Sites.Manage.All
    Sites.Selected
    Sites.ReadWrite.All
    Sites.Read.All

Run the command 'rclone version' and share the full output of the command.

as I noticed: moving between sharepoints is not offered by microsoft at all.

Anyhow:
Copy files is working, but files between to crypt mounts end in corrupted files at destination...

2025/01/06 16:41:19 NOTICE: Failed to copy: multi-thread copy: failed to open source: failed to authenticate decrypted block - bad password?

Do you use the same keys for both crypt locations? Otherwise there is no way to do this.

sadly they don't match

As described on the Crypt page, I can "convert" my existing crypt to a new one with a user-defined password on the same SharePoint. After that, I can repeat this process for all locations, so that in the end, all crypts will share the same password. This will make it easier to copy data across different SharePoint sites. Although the setup is a bit time-consuming, it's worth it for me actually....

If you have enough space on the storage system you can create a new crypt remote pointing to a separate directory on the same backend, and then use rclone to copy everything from the original crypt remote to the new, effectively decrypting everything on the fly using the old password and re-encrypting using the new password. When done, delete the original crypt remote directory and finally the rclone crypt configuration with the old password. All data will be streamed from the storage system and back, so you will get half the bandwidth and be charged twice if you have upload and download quota on the storage system.
