Before it was a bug.
You might not ever used it, for small files that would be fine for anything
else that would be very slow.

I will quote myself:

```
A smb share is a network share, meaning all data reading and writing must go
through the network and is slow compared to a local folder.

In order to compress files, we need to read them them all and then write a new
file of a potentially similar size.

If we were to allow compressing from a smb share, you would be copying locally
the file(s) to compress, compress them and uploading the new compressed file to
the server, which would be very noticeably slow and potentially not expected
behavior.

If that’s what you want, you can do it manually.
```
