Description
Feature Request
Summary
This would improve Nextcloud Mail's killer feature, namely its ability to move files back and forward from server storage without them touching one's local desktop. Complementary to #552.
What
On clicking "Save to Files" for an attachment, provide a pre-populated form field allowing the filename to be edited. Or a button which calls up an intermediate step to do that.
Why
Use case: Anyone who organizes their files by filenames rather than folders probably does not want to keep the cryptic filename of that bank statement they are saving. At present it is necessary to go into Files later to clear up the mess, a bit like with the desktop Downloads folder after a web browser dumps everything there.

Research direction
