Unable to Change Page while Uploading

[DrEVILish]

While uploading to Nextcloud using the WebUI, if you navigate away from the current page you started the upload on. It cancels the current upload task.

This isn't expected behaviour, there should be an upload queue that should appear in the top right-hand corner of the webpage if you navigate away from the current page and continues the upload process.

On Dropbox, while navigating the current folder structure I am able to edit and move files around while a background upload process takes place. It places an info bar at the bottom of the screen that keeps me updated with the current progress of my upload.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #8356 (Unable to change forgotten password), #2023 (Unable to Log out, redirects back to home page), #1448 (File details will not change after redirecting from Favorites page), #6223 (Unable to upload files to NextCloud), and #2284 (Admins cannot change passwords anymore on Users page).

Not related issues.

This would be a really nice enhancement for Nextcloud. However I don't know how complex it is to achieve this. What do you think @blizzz @skjnldsv @MorrisJobke ?

Supporting browsing away to other apps is out of scope.
Nonetheless we want to add a warning to avoid breaking an ongoing upload.

Indeed, a warning should be presentet to the user to prevent breaking uploads
I also just remarked that clicking on "Recent", "Favorites" or "Shares" doesn't break the upload, but the upload bar disappears. If you click on "All files", the upload bar appears again, but this is quite confusing too.

Yes - changing directories already works fine, but going into a different section is still not properly working (UX wise).

Fixed by #12271

@skjnldsv
Wow, that was fast!
#12271 adds the warning if I'm correct. How about switching into the different UI sections? Wasn't the issue more about that?

I accept the fix :D Thanks, guys!!
