Copy API to allow copying files from a managed users account to the admin account of the caller
There is no API action to copy or download files that is invisible from the user who owns the content. When copying files, there is no way to copy the files from a users account to the admin account (so that the copy of these files can then be reviewed and downloaded by compliance teams without creating access stats on the original file).
An alternative was to directly download the files from the users account however there is no way to not create access stats when doing so.
I am therefore suggesting the download endpoint have an added input for not generating a download access stat on the file (when the call is done by an admin). Alternatively the ability to copy files from a users account back to the account of the admin.
Use case for this is in e-discovery cases if we do not have an adequate tool but need to audit user files.
