As we all know that moving files from one place to another is the most basic thing you expect from a software like this.
Thus I just am surprised that it doesn’t come as a part of NC itself but only as an app.
this little app works like a charm so far and i think i should be integrated into NC, directly.
Agreed.
Even bulk move has been missing since the option to move files was introduced (oversight much?)

1. to develop
feature: files
spec
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).

It is an old topic, actually:
Hello,
Nextcloud should have standard file manager features like cut/copy/paste (and probably other things as well) in its file manager app. Currently it is only available with 3rd-party apps, but this is really essential if one has only access to the web interface to do file operations.
Nice to see that it might come to Nextcloud 13, finally. A good web based file manager is very important if no sync client/webdav access is available.

Such apps can make it to the core finally, the direct menu was for example integrated in NC12.
Twist some arms there @tflidd . By the time this conference is over we should at least have bulk move

Asynchronous operation is very important in that regard. It is useless for big movements if it relies on the client browser and the connection drops/system crashes and the operation did no go through completely.

…which I would assume is already in place given the ability to mass drag-and-drop files at the moment works.
