Moving files from read-only filesystems does not work well

Hello to all
This is what happens to me and I think it is important to find a solution:

If you try to move a file or folder from an external read-only file system (SMB for example), an error is generated but the file is ‘physically’ moved (copied).

Vers. 11.0.2 / 3

Case 1

  1. Create an external storage (SMB / CIFS read only)
  2. move a file from the external storage to the user folder (files)
  3. An error is generated (can not move 
)
  4. Run ‘occ files: scan user’ or simply ‘ls user / files’ and the file is in the user folder

Case 2

  1. Create an external storage (SMB / CIFS) with two folders, one read-only and one read and write
  2. Drag & drop a file from the read-only folder to the read and write folder
  3. An error is generated (can not move 
)
  4. Navigate to the samba filesystem in the read and write folder, the file is there

Of course this is because I can read the file (and then copy it) but I can not delete it.
Also, due to the error, the file is not visible from the interface if you are not running ‘occ files: scan’

Unfortunately this is a situation that could easily occur in office environments (a read-only filesystem could be used for modules, templates, etc.)

I warned my users not to do this, but it’s not a good solution
