Bug description

Dear Nextcloud,

I'd like to report a server bug for you. We can exceed the user quota if we use the copy function and copy files to another folder.

Steps to reproduce
  1. Login
  2. Upload as many files until the storage space is full
  3. Create another empty folder
  4. Mark the previously uploaded files and copy them into the newly created folder

Research direction

Start by reproducing the listed steps on Nextcloud Server 25: fill a user's storage, create a folder, and copy the existing files into it. Trace the server-side copy operation and quota handling; done means copying cannot cause storage usage to exceed the user's quota. No source files or tests are named in the issue.
