    Hey BuyingHomes2Day, I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with this!

    Moving a shared folder into another shared folder is only allowed within Business team folders. 

    If you're the owner of the shared folder, which you can find with the steps here, you can unshare the folder you're trying to move and then you should be able to move the folder.

    You'll only be able to do this if you're the owner of the shared folder and please bear in mind that this will be visible to those who have access to the destination shared folder.

    If you're not the owner of these shared folders though, I'm afraid that you won't be able to move the folder. If you need to add the content to the destination folder then you'll only be able to make a copy of the folder that you want to move.

    I hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions!
