Duplicate should only duplicate and not also move

In the Android app, when I duplicate a file, I usually want the copy to be in the same directory. However, the initial directory to save the copy is the root directory. Therefore, I have to tap many times to get back to the initial directory. This behavior is very similar to the behavior for the move feature. 

My idea suggestion is that the duplicate feature should only duplicate the file and not also include the move behavior. If I want to move the duplicated file, then I can do that after. 

Alternatively, the duplicate feature can include the move behavior but use the current directory as the initial directory.
