Description
If you copy/move some large files and then refresh the page, the progressbar will disappear and the user cannot tell if the copy operation has completed other than specifically compare filesize between src and dst folder. They cannot cancel the operation because there is no such button to allow them to do so either. Also if you copy really large folders(like the one with 40GB files), the UI will say "File Cannot Be Copied" (I guess maybe nextcloud UI tell the user operation failed after a certain timeout), but in fact the copy background job is still woking (you can ssh into the server and manually check folder size).
So it will be more intuitive if nextcloud can display background job in a UI, so that user can check it's status/cancel the job easily.
