Cannot create child folder on Downloads root from context menu

Project Member Reported by yamaguchi@chromium.org, May 9 2017 
Chrome Version: ToT

Steps To Reproduce:
(1) Open the Files app.
(2) Right-click on "Downloads" volume. (which is the root directory of the Downloads folder)


Expected Result:
Context menu pops up with "Create new folder" item.

Actual Result:
Context menu doesn't pop up.

How frequently does this problem reproduce? (Always, sometimes, hard to
reproduce?)
Always

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?
Not critical.
As a workaround, user can left-click the volume once to open the root, then right-click on the file list.
User can create a new folder by the context menu if it's on a subfolder under Downloads. So this may look inconsistent.

This also happens with "My Drive", which is the root of directory of the user's Google Drive.

Currently we don't show the context menu itself for fake/invalid/root entries.

This is by design.
