Steps to Copy a File
Follow these steps within the Microsoft Teams interface to copy a file from your OneDrive:

Locate the File to Copy:

Select the Copy Action:
- Move your mouse cursor over the file you've located.
- A More options button (represented by three dots, ...) will appear next to the file name. Click on it.
- From the menu that pops up, select the Copy to option.
-
Choose the Destination Folder:
- A new window or pane will open, allowing you to navigate through your existing folders (either within your OneDrive or other connected locations like Teams channels if available, though the reference focuses on OneDrive).
- Select the folder where you want the copy of your file to be placed.

Finalize the Copy:
- After selecting the destination folder, confirm the action. The process will then create and place a duplicate of your file in the chosen location. (Note: The provided reference's final step mentions "Select Move here," which is specific to moving a file. When copying, the final button is typically "Copy here" or the process completes upon selecting the destination folder in the UI).
By following these steps, you can effectively copy a file from your personal OneDrive storage while working within the Microsoft Teams environment. This helps you manage duplicates or place files in different organizational structures within your cloud storage.
