Description
Stuff to improve in document provider:
-
Copy/move folders between oC accounts: https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/2658
-
Move files between oC accounts: https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/2659
-
OCIS's shares in documents provider https://github.com/owncloud/android/issues/4322
issues @2658 and #2659 represent the main problems faced against copy/move operations. When big amount of files moved (mainly) between oC accounts or in the same account (account in SAF is the same as a provider), behaviour is not deterministic. After checking if there is some kind of memory restriction or a swap memory that prevents higher amount of data to be transferred, i found nothing.

Done is not defined as a single verifiable outcome.
