Steps to reproduce
- User A shares a folder with User B.
- User B moves one file from the shared folder into another one (not shared).
- File is deleted for user A without any possibility to get it back.
Expected behaviour
If user B deletes a file from a shared folder, user A would be able to restore the file within the "deleted files"-menu. It would be nice, if there is a similar solution for moving files which was shared by me.
Actual behaviour
If user B moves my (!) file to a location where I have no access, I'm unable to get it back again. The desktop client removes the file immediately.
