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)
3- create a new folder with name 'folder 1'.
Expected: the file is in the folder 'folder 2'
But the file is being saved in the second folder, the one with name 'folder 1'.
Probably its matching with the name instead of matching with the id, somehow
I also tried when the file is already in the folder (not uploading/ queue) and it works perfectly in that case.

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.
