Move Folder

Folders can be moved from one folder to another within the same Drive.

  • A new file metadata transaction is created when a user wants to move a folder into a different folder.

  • The new file metadata transaction reuses the existing folder’s Folder-Id and copies all of it’s old metadata values, but the file’s Parent-Folder-Id must be updated to the Folder-Id of the folder is was just moved to.

    • For private folders, new ciphers are generated for this new metadata transaction.
  • Folder’s must not be allowed to be moved into a folder if another folder exists in that folder with the same folder name.
