Copy/paste .cloud / .cloudf in Windows Explorer

Copy/pasting .cloud/.cloudf files within a storage provider works really well, the files are copied/moved correctly within the cloud storage. This makes tidying up & organising files on the storage solution really nice without having to resync everything.

However, copying a .cloud or .cloudf file to a non-odrive folder just results in the actual .cloud/f file being copied (which is then of course useless) - would it be possible to download the file/folder to the new location?

For example, we store large client database backups on Dropbox, and when I need to restore them for testing (which is very often), I firstly have to sync them within odrive, and then move them to the correct SQL Server restore location (on another drive), which just takes additional time.
