SharePoint Online provides a very easy Out Of The Box way to move/copy documents to a different location. This includes files and folders both.
Business end users can perform these steps easily themselves without dependency on Admin or IT support team. Simple content migrations within tenant can be performed this way without need of SharePoint migration tools like ShareGate, Metalogix or AvePoint.
