This article will demonstrate how to copy content from a source Media Library to a destination Media Library. Copying content to another Media Library makes a digital copy in another media library and enables independent management of the newly copied content.
Note: Copying content makes a duplicate digital file and increases your storage (based on the size of the content). If you do not want to make a digital copy, you can Share the content.
Enable Copy
First, it is important to make sure you navigate to the library where you want to the copied files to end up, that is called the destination Media Library.
To enable copy, go to the Library menu and click on the Sharing tab.
Add Source Media Library
In the Sharing Options area, click on +Add to choose the source Media Library. The source Media Library will be able to copy content to a destination Media Library.
After clicking the +Add button users can Search or Select the source Media Library. Then click the Add to My Shares button. In the example below the source Media Library is Marketing/Communications.
Enable Copy
After adding the source Media Library you need to enable Copy, just click the Copy checkbox. The copy permission has been granted for the source Media Library (Marketing/Communications).
Copy Content from Source Media Library
