Steps to reproduce

  1. Open the iOS Files app
  2. Long-press a folder

Expected behaviour

The context menu should show "Move" alongside "Copy" to be able to move a folder.

Actual behaviour

The context menu only shows "Copy" (copy to clipboard). There is no way to move a folder using the Files app.

Also, when dragging a folder onto another folder copies the folder into the other, which does not make any sense in most cases. The default action when dragging folders should be Move (to be consistent with other Files backends like iCloud or local files).
