So let&#8217;s look at why even experts don&#8217;t recommend it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2\">Method 2. PowerShell Command Methodology to Copy Document Library to Another SharePoint Site<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Users have to launch a PowerShell module on their PC and link it to the SharePoint Online site. To achieve this result, the following command can be executed:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Connect-PnPOnline -Url &lt;SourceSiteURL&gt; -Credentials (Get-Credential)<\/span><\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make some changes in the sample code, like replacing the SourceSiteURL variable with your own SharePoint site URL.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your website has been linked, proceed by downloading the Document Library to a local file or folder. For that, refer to the following example:<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Export-PnPList -Identity &lt;SourceLibraryName&gt; -Path\u00a0 -Force<\/span><\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like previously, some changes are required in this code to reflect your unique scenario. Substitute the &lt;SourceLibraryName&gt; parameter with your Document Library name.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now to copy Document Library from one Site to another, use the below command to import the Document Library to destination Site.<\/span><\/p>\n<pre><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Import-PnPList -Path &lt;SourceBackupPath&gt; -DestinationUrl &lt;DestinationSiteOfURL&gt; -Force<\/span><\/pre>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the above command, change the &lt;SourceBackupPath&gt; field as well as the local path where you wish to export the Document Library of the source site. Moreover, you also need to change the &lt;DestinationSiteOfURL&gt; field accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you run the above command, you need to wait until the copy process is completed. Once completed, you will be able to access the data on the destination SharePoint site.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we are going to present the old way of achieving the same result.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3\">Method 3. Move Document Library from One Site to Another in SharePoint Online Classic Experience<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Classic experience, the user must toggle the \u201cOpen with Explorer\u201d option. And then follow these steps.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the source site that contains the relevant Document Library to copy data from.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Within the Document Library and go to the \u201cLibrary\u201d tab.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hit the \u201cOpen with Explorer\u201d option.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the Windows Explorer window, directly paste all the files and folders which were copied at the Source library.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, let the files upload and sync.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This method is less technical than PowerShell but still requires a deep understanding of the SharePoint Portal. Moreover, any mistakes made during the copy-pasting can result in unforeseen errors that are hard to resolve. Up next, we discuss the method for users who operate on the modern SharePoint experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"4\">Method 4. How to Copy Document Library to Another SharePoint Site Modern Experience?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The SharePoint Online modern experience provides quite a simple and user-friendly approach to copying Document Library data. The steps are as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit the source site that contains the relevant Document Library to copy data from.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to that library and hit the Gear icon present in the top-right-hand corner.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Select all the Site Contents option in the dropdown menu.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Press the 3 dots at the side of the Document Library that you want to copy from one Site to another.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After which a \u201cCopy to\u201d window pops up, type in the Site URL where you want to move the document.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pick the Document Library in the destination Site and hit the \u201cCopy\u201d button.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This process may sound simple, but the catch is that it fails if there are too many document libraries. Moreover, only one document library can be copied at a time, making it too slow for most real-life scenarios.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"5\">Method 5. Download &amp; Upload Document Library Files and Folders<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can save the files and folders of the Document library in your system.

Make sure you have not uploaded the irrelevant files to the document library. It will affect the data integrity. This method is only helpful when you need to copy a small number of files from the document library to another SharePoint site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"6\">Method 6.
