Copy jobs stop when browser tab is closed #3384

Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

When copying many files between different spaces (e.g. around 10GB), the browser tab needs to stay open for the entire duration of the copy job. If the tab is closed, the copy process stops immediately, resulting in an unfinished job with missing files.

Describe the solution you'd like

Copy jobs should continue running server-side (or be resumable) even if the browser tab is closed, so large copy operations between spaces complete reliably without requiring the user to keep the tab open the whole time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

  • Showing a clear warning before closing the tab if a copy job is still in progress.
  • Providing a way to resume or retry an interrupted copy job instead of ending up with incomplete/missing files.

Additional context

This becomes especially noticeable with larger copy jobs (~10GB+), where the operation takes long enough that closing the tab prematurely (accidentally or intentionally) leads to a partially completed transfer.
