Bug description

Moving a folder shared with me takes really long, but it should only change the "mount point" in the share table so it should be super fast

Steps to reproduce
  1. Tried on c.nc.com
  2. Try one of our larger company wide shares
  3. Move them to a different folder (using the "move or copy"-operation of the web interface), in my case I want to organize all the important folders in a top-level folder "company"
  4. The moving folder notification with a spinner is visible for minutes:

  1. If I open the target folder, in my case "company" the share is already there.

Either is is just a bug in the notification, that it doesn't disapear or the server does some strange stuff while it should only change the mount point in the share table.

Expected behavior

operation should be super fast.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the move-or-copy operation for a large shared folder in the web interface, then compare when the share appears in the target folder with when the moving notification spinner disappears. Determine whether the delay is in the server operation or only the notification; done means the operation and its notification complete promptly.
