Move or Rename File or Folder

by
Published today

Move a file or folder to another folder of the same drive, rename it, or both. `item` and `destination_folder` are each an id, or a path from the drive root starting with "/" (e.g. `/Reports/2026/summary.xlsx`). To move across drives, copy then delete. Requires Sites.ReadWrite.All (a connection default).
