Moving posts from one channel/Team to another?

Having rushed into setting things up on Teams due to COVID-19, we now find that we would like to rearrange our teams and use channels more.  Is there an easy way to move content (posts and files) from one team to another, please?

Many thanks

Carol

    I've just come across this as well.

    However I have found a partial solution which is cross posting.

    You can edit your post and then there is a + icon on the top left. Click that and add another channel. Seems that comments are also restricted by the channel - but at least it allows different teams to comment on the post in their respective channels without creating a lot of noise.

    PLEASE fix this!

    The first channel in a team is General We use it to discuss for the work we do.

    We have a second for office discussions and call it Internal

    But because we aren't allowed to change the name "General", people put things in the wrong channel.

    This is problem your system is creating - and won't let us fix.

    I know. Completely agree. It’s what holds us back from embracing Teams over other similar tools. Seems a bit ridiculous.

    We're just getting started with Teams and already this is an issue. I'd love to be able to move a finished conversation to an archive or even just another channel.

    So what other platforms do you recommend?

    Unbelievable that this is still the problem. I look at our Teams channels every day and just shake my head. Nobody uses them it’s such a mess.
