Add option to copy/duplicate files #3206
Comments
This will be greate when this will be possible. Another Usecase: |
This would be important! 👍 |
Design-wise this could be nicely integrated with the move function. We simply need to rename the function in the dropdown »Move or copy«: And in the folder picker which gets opened we simply need to add another button for copying: cc @icewind1991 @rullzer, and also @eotryx of files_move and @leizh of files_clipboard. |
Do you think something like "Cut" could be implemented as well? For now it is still a two step operation:
Another question: Does this implementation work well for moving/copying huge amounts of data? In the past it was basically impossible using a browser to do that because of synchronous operation: |
@e-alfred the »Move« operation does move the file, that is cut & paste. There is no need to delete the old file. Just confirmed with latest master. |
@jancborchardt I mixed that up, sorry. But the second question still stands. How well does it work with a huge amount of files? |
This would be the worst case for Comments, Tags, and Versions. |
Fixed with #6014 |
This feature is still not present, even after 5 years. It should be possible to duplicate folders, we have a template folder that needs to be duplicated and be renamed to something different but we do it by copying it to another folder and then moving it back, which is dumb. |
Currently there is no possibility to copy a file to another (or same) folder in the WebUI. Files can only be moved to other folders.
Usecase 1:
UserA shares a file with UserB. UserB want this file in his own file storage (on the same server), so UserA can unshare and delete the file and UserB have it for his own.
Usecase 2:
UserA want to share a file with UserB but also give him the option to edit/change/delete the file. But UserA want to save a copy of the original file (in another folder).
