Using the OneDrive sync client requires a download (and then upload) of a local copy of all content of the document library. Individual files can be very large (a few gigabites) and the total size of the library is in tens of gigabites. The content consists of multiple files and folders (numbers in thousands but always less than 5000 per folder). The receiving document is also a modern experience library belonging to a modern experience teams site, a subsite of a modern experience team site collection. The originating document library is a modern experience library and belongs to a modern experience team site which is a subsite of a modern experience communication site collection. I'm using Sharepoint Online (Office 365). I'm still looking for the optimal way of transferring the content of a document library between sharepoint sites. If not, please let us know and we'll see what else we can come up with. I hope this approaches are useful and that they work. Again this took only a few seconds to copy, paste and sync between the libraries. Once it's been synced, you can copy and paste documents between synced libraries in the same way as you would with normal files.

By hitting the sync button, you'll see it connect to your sync client (Figure 2), and then it will be available from your Windows Explorer windows (Figure 3). In Figure 1, you can see the ability to Sync your library to your local file system using the OneDrive Sync Client. The alternative option which has been mentioned before is to use sync (see attachment Modern-Sync.docx). When I tested this with a document of approx 1mb it took about 5 seconds to get itself warmed up and then do the move. In Figure 1, you can see the option to move to, and then in Figure 2 you can see that you have a number of options to either move it to OneDrive for Business or to another SharePoint site. When you visit a document library in the modern experience, you can click on the ellipsis against the document and select move to (see attachment 'Modern-MoveTo.docx'. It worked well back in 2007 when I first used it, but now there are much better options available. From personal experience I never really got on with the piece of functionality. If you're using 'Open in Explorer' I think that may be part of the issue, and I'm assuming that you're using Internet Explorer.
