Bug when adding a file in a folder and change the name of the folder

Hi!! I think i found a bug.  to replicate it:  1- create a folder, name it ' folder 1' and add a file. 2- change the name of the folder to 'folder 2' while the file is uploading (or in the queue) ...

Thanks for posting here, paulacianelli!

 

The reason why this is happening is because there’s something already uploading in the queue, and this change takes place before the action is completed.

 

So, I’d definitely recommend doing what you mention in the end, and wait until the file has fully uploaded, before renaming the folder. 

 

Hope this clarifies things.
