User cannot move shared file to shared folder #6707

dtygel · 2017-09-30T13:41:18Z

Steps to reproduce

User A shares folder FO (which is located at root) with User B
User A shares file FI (which is located at root) with User B
User B moves file FI to folder FO

Expected behaviour

File FI should be succesfully moved to folder FO, since the folder is also shared among both users.

Actual behaviour

In user's B view, it seems that everything worked fine. There is no warning, no error message, nothing. But when user B reloads the page, she sees that moving the file didn't work.

In the other way round, if User B had uploaded a file directly into folder FO, and user A tried to move this file out of this folder, the file will disappear to User B, who uploaded the file, definitely, and User A will have this file in his root folder, not shared. This is the expected behaviour in this direction, but the other way round it's not working as expected.

Please upgrade to 12.0.3. It should be fixed there.

viniciuscb · 2017-10-02T15:06:31Z

We pulled 12.0.3, tried again and didn't work.

There is another error that happens when an user tries to move a file from a shared folder A to another shared folder B. I've tried to move this file and received an error message.
I've made the same operation in two steps: moved the file from the shared folder A to my home folder: OK. Then moved the same file from my home folder to a shared folder B: OK too.

viniciuscb · 2017-10-02T15:33:00Z

Tested this last error reported by me in the last comment, in nextcloud 13, the error did not happen.

However, the error in this issue, reported by @dtygel , happens in nextcloud 13 (master)

rullzer · 2017-10-02T16:15:55Z

Aaah I missunderstood the problem.

Moving a share into a share is not supported.

viniciuscb · 2017-10-02T18:02:09Z

OK @rullzer .
The question is: should we work on this problem?
We want to be able to move a file that is a share to another folder that is a share.
We thought in a solution: unsharing the file and moving it inside the folder.
Specially possible if the owner of the file and of the folder are the same person, and both file and folder are shared with same sharing options (edit allowed, shared to same users/groups/circles).
Will this be accepted into nextcloud core?

rullzer · 2017-10-02T19:39:07Z

The owner of files can do what they want with files.

Like if you have

Root
|--Foo
|--Bar
  |-- text.txt

If the owner wants to move Bar into foo.

Root
|--Foo
  |--Bar
    |-- text.txt

And the owner can share Foo, Bar and text.txt all at the same time.

The reason we don't allow moving shares into shares is twofold:

Things get messy very fast and the owner can lose track of who has access to what.
There are a lot of cases where it might not be allowed. This gets very confusing for the user. If sometimes they can move a share into a share and other times not.

viniciuscb · 2017-10-03T13:01:38Z

Hi @rullzer . That is a good explanation.

Besides that, I would like to report a bug, (maybe in other issue?) because when we move a mount point to inside another, it fails silently.
It should throw an error.

The error in lib/private/Files/View.php:1729 does not happen because of a storage wrapper. In my case the Files_Trashbin/Storage (which is a wrapper) is a instance of OCP\Files\IHomeStorage . This error should happen when I move one SharedStorage to inside another.

For the user to whom the file/folder is being shared, the operation seems to have been done perfectly, however when s/he reloads the page, the moved file is in the same place.

Steps to reproduce:
User A: share a file F1 with user B
User A: share a folder F2 with user B
User B: using the web interface (Files), move F1 into F2. No error message reported, seems to be a success.
User B: reload the page, and F1 is outside F2, s/he realizes that the move didn't happen.

Tested in nextcloud 12 and 13 (master).

When a share is moved inside another, will check if both shares have equivalence in sharing types, permissions and sharing targets. If they have, will remove the sharing of the first and move it inside the second. This changes a policy in nextcloud and I don't know if this will be accepted. nextcloud#6707 Signed-off-by: Vinicius Cubas Brand <viniciuscb@gmail.com>

This problem persists in 15, I have fedeated share from external NC, and I can move it only to folders I am not sharing at all.

the Server log says "Login failed...."
nevertheless another move process runs and I can also login via WEB into the target srever

ferdiga · 2021-03-14T19:12:53Z

Now I can not login any more on both servers...
There were too many requests from your network. Retry later or contact your administrator if this is an error.

Will probably have to wait some hours -
IMO not a "Business" like solution

The problem seems to be "Service not available" because of "too many logins" or something else..
I noticed that the "Shared" directory can not be listed or only after very long wait
Timeout issue?

ferdiga · 2021-03-15T02:40:25Z

I think it's the problem of federation shares described in
https://help.nextcloud.com/t/federated-shares-showing-size-of-pending-storage-is-temporarily-unnavailable/57826/10

ferdiga · 2021-03-15T02:48:06Z

workaround for some case if you just want to move very big directories without intention to create federation shares of this folders!!!

create an empty folder on the target machine and share this one.
move the content from source to target
unshare the target directory
move the content of the target directory to the place where it should go initially
