Move action to different location (instead of deleting)
Just being able to delete after set %time seems to be lacking in usage, Can you please add an option to change the behavior? For example, when %time is due, all matching files to be moved to external storage or trash bin or any path within the NC platform.
rule applied path - /path/to/files selectors - year, month, day, hour move to - /path (trash/deleted files) (attached external storage/path) (local /data/$user/../..)
Cheers,

Anyone?
This file retention app has already done 60% of the work, now please add a feature to move items on to external storage with original path and it can be backported as a core archiving feature. Just like Amazon S3 lifetime manager on NEXTCLOUD. Dirt cheap encrypted archiving solution.
I second that feature request. This is exactly what I need.
A folder I created named "Archive" and within it, all the files that are older than $time get moved into it.
example: path/to/file/so-old.odt → Archive/path/to/file/so-old.odt path/to/very/old/folder → Archive/path/to/very/old/folder/
path/to/file/just-created.odt stays in path/to/file/just-created.odt
Where I can see it getting troublesome might be having this as a per folder, or per group thing maybe? I have different group folders for different parts of the company.
Section1/many/folders would then get a Section1/Archive/ to put everything into only from Section1 while Section2/folders would get a Section2/Archive/ where nothing from Section1 gets into and vice versa.
I would also love to have this.
Actually it's a trigger on a file based on a timeout. The action to do could be generalized (deleted, moved to other location, reset ownership, reset share status, ...)
This feature would be perfect. Rarely used data could be moved to a cheaper storage...
I would also be interested if this could work with federated systems as well, to allow for a more flexible workflow. However, just having the basic functionality in place would be awesome too.
Any updates on this functionality, would be amazing to have!

Not planed at the moment from my side. But if anyone wants to implement it, I'm happy to review and help getting the changes in.

I might have some time to look into it. Is there a way to find Nextcloud folders which haven't been touched for a while (atime of files within the folder) in order to autotag them in NC?
