Copyparty says I don't have permissions I do have #610

Description

Describe the bug

In a folder with move permissions, I cannot move because copyparty says I do not have move permissions, while in the top right it says I do.

To Reproduce

I tried installing with docker before but then I deleted the container because I wasn't able to set it up via docker and then I followed these instructions from the systemd service (with a few commands removed):

wget https://github.com/9001/copyparty/releases/latest/download/copyparty-sfx.py -O /usr/local/bin/copyparty-sfx.py
useradd -r -s /sbin/nologin -m -d /var/lib/copyparty copyparty
cp -pv copyparty.service /etc/systemd/system/
cp -pv copyparty.conf /etc/
systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl enable --now copyparty

Expected behavior

I expected copyparty to let me move the file to the folder. All of the folders have the move permission.
