### Description
When copying a folder with many files from an encrypted archive to outside of the archive, Files asks for password for each file in the folder.
expected behaviour: Files only asks for password once
### Steps To Reproduce
1. Download [encrypted-example.zip](https://github.com/user-attachments/files/29471602/encrypted-example.zip). (Password: aaaaaa)
2. Open it with Files
3. Copy the "code" folder inside it to any folder in your filesystem

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the copy using encrypted-example.zip in Files 4.1.3.0, then inspect the archive-copy path and debug.log for the repeated password requests. Done means copying the "code" folder from the encrypted archive prompts for the password only once.
