### Feature description
Currently, renaming a file locally causes a re-upload of the file to nextcloud. With large files this quite burdensome. It would be great if instead of uploading the file again, nextcloud would just receive a rename command.
Currently an issue with nextcloud desktop client 3.5.1 (Ubuntu)
Contributor guide
Research direction
The issue names Nextcloud Desktop 3.5.1 on Ubuntu but no source file or test. Start by reproducing a local rename of a large file and tracing the desktop sync path; done means the server receives a rename operation without uploading the file contents, while existing sync behavior still works.
