SharePoint Online: Move a File between Document Libraries using PowerShell

Requirement: SharePoint Online PowerShell to Move files from one library to another.

How to Move a File in SharePoint Online Document Library?
Here is how to move files between document libraries in SharePoint Online:

• Navigate to your SharePoint Online document library. Select the file to move >> Click on "Move To" in the toolbar.(Right Click on a document and choose "Move To" does the same thing)
  
• This opens information panel in the right. Select the target library to which your file needs to be moved. You can select any folder in current library, any other library in the current site or even a library in any different site collections.
  
• Pick the target location to move the document and click on "Move Here" button to start moving the file.
  

You'll see the "Moving" message in tool bar and your file will be moved momentarily. You can use this method to move files between libraries or move files between site collections.
