So you are able to change the storage through the properties? Didnt know if the Storage property was read only or not. Are you able to do the same with documents?

$Doc = Get-PWDocumentsBySearch -FolderID 15557

$Doc.StorageID = 2

$Doc.StorageName = 2

I am able to change the folder through the properties, but I have not been able to change the files without having to copy them "from one Storage area to another" neither of these have much documentation. "update to match" is interesting...I will have to test it.

If I remember correctly the Move-PWFolderTreeToNewStorage had the same issue as Update-PWStorageAreaForProjectTree in that it wants to move files.

Update-PWDocumentStorageToMatchFolder i couldn't use because it just changes documents (and didn't work when i tried if). I needed to change the folder too.

Do either of these cmdlets work? I do not have multiple storages so I can't really test it.

Move-PWFolderTreeToNewStorage
Update-PWDocumentStorageToMatchFolder

I tried doing this the other day and never did find a way. I ended up turning it over to a co-worker to do it manually (i'm sorry coworker)
