copy method doesn't return file (or file id)

[rienheuver]

The copy-method seems to be the only one that doesn't return the file you created. It's annoying because that way you can't save the file ID to a database. The cloud storage is also too slow to be able to right away find the file again in storage and get the file ID that way.

@rienheuver The return value of the copy method is defined as boolean.

However, you can get metadata using getMetaData() immediately after using the copy method.

if ($filesystem->copy($from, $to)) {
    $metadata = $filesystem->getMetaData($to);
}

In the case i'm creating a folder like this Storage::cloud()->makeDirectory('/' . $branch->BranchName); how will I get the metadata ?
