Feature: Add an access denied error when drive/folder is blocked because of permissions

Open Josh65-2201 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

I have set a drives permissions for a user account to not allow access, it works but is not very clear to the user that there are permissions stoping them from seeing the drives contents, I presume this happends for folders too.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open drives properties page (don't do it on the C drive it will brake Windows)
  2. set a user account to deny on the full control option
  3. accses the drive with that denied account
  4. see the "folder is empty" message

Requirements

  • Display access denied error instead of opening the drive
