Note: As previously announced, Zoho Docs is being discontinued and the Deluge Docs integration tasks will stop executing starting 15th September 2023. For your advanced file management and collaboration requirements, we recommend you refer to the WorkDrive API documents as an alternative.

Overview

This task is used to move a specified file to a specified folder.

Note: On average, it takes about a minute to index a file/folder after it is created or updated. This indexing time can increase if the queue size increases. You will not get the expected result if you execute zoho.docs.moveFile task before the file you need to move is indexed.
