Bug description

When moving an iOS Live Photo (HEIC + MOV) from Personal Files to a Group Folder, the photo is downgraded to a normal photo.

Only the HEIC file is moved, while the corresponding MOV file is automatically deleted, causing the Live Photo to break.

This issue does not occur when:

• Moving Live Photos within Personal Files
• Moving Live Photos within Group Folders

In those cases, both HEIC and MOV files are preserved and the photo remains a Live Photo.

Steps to reproduce

1. Upload an iOS Live Photo (HEIC + MOV) to Personal Files with ios client
2. Verify it is correctly recognized as a Live Photo
3. Move the photo to a Group Folder
4. Check the files in the destination folder

Expected behavior

• Both HEIC and MOV files should be moved together
• The photo should remain a Live Photo and mov file should be hidden
• No file should be deleted automatically
