Limit received share interactions #9458

Description

@rullzer

Currently we allow all users to move files out of shares. However this leads to some scalibility and usability problems.

Assume:

  1. userA has a folder foo with 3 files bar1, bar2, bar3.
  2. Now userA shares foo with groupB
  3. userX, userY and userZ are all part of groupB.
  4. userX moves bar1 out of the share to its own data

Now we have logic in place here that the file gets also moved to the trashbin of userA. But it is still weird behavior wise. Because all of sudden the file is gone for userY and userZ.

If we'd forbid moving files out of shared folder to your own folders (of course if you own the files you can still move whatever you want since they are your files). We'd could improve the handling here. We'd could come up with things like shared trashbins for shared files maybe.

I tried it out on gdrive with @skjnldsv yesterday and they have similar limitations. You can't move files out of a folder shared with you. There is a button 'copy to my drive'. But that is of course different.

This would of course be a big change. But it makes a lot of things simpler. And I guess also easier to explain to users.

Feedback welcome: @skjnldsv @MorrisJobke @nickvergessen @icewind1991 @jancborchardt @schiessle @blizzz @danxuliu
