Copy Files To or Copy Folders To other Team folders

We need to be able to copy files or a single folder to other folders in Team for those users that only need to see certain things.  For example, if we have all of our reports and drawings and have them shared to 10 people, but only want a subset of drawings to be seen by a Trade whilst Tendering, it would be MUCH quicker to just select the folder > Copy To > then select a destination and set that folder's permissions.  Right now we can only Move To which we'll never use.  We have to download then copy to OneDrive which defeats point of having Team. 

Currently we have to download all of the files manually, which takes forever since Chrome/Firefox cannot download more than 1 file, Edge only partially downloads etc.

    Copying any folder or a subfolder to any other folder in another project should be a standard feature. This way lot of time can be saved creating individual folders when you are setting up 60-75 projects a year.

    Not too sure if the development team is following these requests up, as I can see users are commenting on this since 2019. I assume the DT did not feel this feature a priority for them to work on!

    We have a template project set up with our standard folder structure. It would be nice to be able to put files that are needed on all projects into this template so when a new project is set up, those files do not have to be manually added.
