# Move Folder

export const Link = ({href, children, className, ...props}) => {
  const localizedHref = href;
  return <a href={localizedHref} className={className} {...props}>
      {children}
    </a>;

  const getBadgeClass = badge => {
    if (!badge) return "badge-default";
    const badgeType = badge.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, "-");

To move a folder, update the ID of its parent folder.

## Operation details

This call will return synchronously. This holds true even
for folder moves when the folder contains a large number
of items in all of its descendants. For very large
folders, this means the call could take
minutes or hours to complete and
some parts of the tree are locked during moves.

When moving a folder, part of the file tree will
be locked, mainly the source folder and all of its descendants,
as well as the destination folder.

For the duration of the move you cannot perform
other move, copy, delete, or restore operation
on any of the locked folders.

## Moving a subfolder to a private folder

When you attempt to move a collaborated subfolder
to a private one, you will get the <Link href="/guides/api-calls/permissions-and-errors/common-errors#400-bad-request">`cannot_make_collaborated_subfolder_private`</Link> error.
In such a case, specify the ID of the user that folder
belongs to setting the `owned_by.id` parameter in the request:

<RelatedLinks
  title="RELATED APIS"
  items={[
{ label: translate("Update folder"), href: "/reference/put-folders-id", badge: "PUT" }
]}
/>

<RelatedLinks
  title="RELATED GUIDES"
  items={[
{ label: translate("Create Folder"), href: "/guides/folders/single/create", badge: "GUIDE" },
{ label: translate("Update Folder"), href: "/guides/folders/single/update", badge: "GUIDE" },
{ label: translate("Delete Folder"), href: "/guides/folders/single/delete", badge: "GUIDE" }
]}
/>
