Bug description

I have a folder in Files with a file template for a meeting protocol. Every week I copy the file to the same directory to get a new copy. This is no longer possible in 28.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a folder
2. Create a file in the folder
3. Click the Move or copy

Expected behavior

The file picker lets me pick the source directory for Copy.

This is likely restricted by

server/apps/files/src/actions/moveOrCopyAction.ts

Line 147 in b3e24a6

&& node.fileid !== n.fileid

.

As a user I would prefer if Copy is still possible to the same directory but it makes sense to disable Move when source directory = target directory.

This is one of the main complaints from my team regarding NC28. Honestly, I would find it way better to just add a dedicated "Duplicate" function that duplicates the file or folder and automatically selects its name to be edited, saving 1-2 steps compared to the Copy/Move function in NC<28. Thank you!
