Hey gvi, thanks for joining our Community!

Let's see what we can find out about this.

Are the files you're moving set to 'online-only' or 'available offline'?

If they're online-only, first switch them to available offline and then try to move them again, to see if that makes a difference.

If not, please send me a screenshot of the message, so I can have a visual and assist you better.

Thanks!
