Bug description

Files that are already available offline can not be copied to another drive if the source-drive does not have enough free space.
Though the target drive has plenty of free space available, an error message is shown that additional space is required to copy the file.
Checking the given sizes (missing space and full space of the drive) reveals that space on the source drive (where the synced Nextcloud folder is residing) is required.

Steps to reproduce

0. Have a partition with enough space to store the testing-file exactly once, but not twice
1. Copy a new file into the Nextcloud folder on that full partition
2. Wait for it to sync
3. Try to copy that file to another partition with more than enough space to store the file

It may be required to place the file into a folder which is marked to be not available locally.

Expected behavior

The file should be just copied since it is available locally and the target drive has enough free space.

Additional info

It may be related to the following issue:
#4274

Getting a message that additional space is required on the source drive indicates that the Nextcloud client is trying to redownload the file, though it is already stored on the drive.
When I mark the same file as "Free up local space", the size of the file is removed from the total amount of used space of the partition after a while. This shows that the file was really there.

I can provide the client logs, but I won't push them public.
