    To clarify, I want to move Folder and all its contents to Archive. This also seems to happen trying to copy Folder into Archive

    Hi , 

     

    The main reason that the cyclical_folder_structure error comes up is because the move itself would create a cyclical structure (most likely where you're archiving it to). In short, the folder might be moved into a subfolder of itself. This can be a bit confusing when it comes to shared folders - if you take a look through the folder structure you're trying to move and the folder structure you're trying to move to you should probably see where that cyclical structure is coming from.
