Actions Performed User logged in

  1. Open All Files or any folder
  2. Choose for example a PDF or a PNG image and long-tap on it / or tap 3-dot-button next to it
  3. Choose option "Verschieben oder kopieren" (Move or copy)
  4. Variant (A): leave the "Überschreiben" (overwrite) toggle ON / Variant (B): switch the "Überschreiben" (overwrite) OFF
  5. Tap the "Kopieren" (Copy) button

Expected Result That there is a way to simply make a copy of a file

Actual Result Cannot find a way. If I use the copy-function, I get an error message for both cases (A) and (B) (overwrite-toggle ON or OFF) On the desktop website is quite easy, I just right-click the file, copy it, and the system creates a copy of the file with the appendix "Copy" in the file name. (verified on MacBook with Chrome)

Quick win: disable move button on same folder For future: allow copy within same folder via appending "copy" --> this will be an overall ticket, so it can be solved in same way across NC
