Steps To Reproduce:
[user A]
(1) share a Drive folder to B as "can view"
[user B]
(2) find the shared folder under "shared with me" in web Drive
(3) add the folder to My Drive
(4) Open the folder in the Files app.
(5) Go back to Browser and save a page (or an image, PDF, etc.) to the shared folder.
(6) Go back to the Files app and see the folder.


Actual Result:
User can successfully finish saving/downloading the file to the shared (view-only) folder.
User see the saved file in the Files app (and any other Chrome apps.) on the device.
The file fails to sync to Drive.
User can see the error message in the Files app like "sync failed" about the file iff. user had the files app window open.
Once the user closes the Files app. window, the error message does not appear again.

Expected Result:
At step 5, user should not be able to save the file to there.
Alternatively, user should be able to aware of the sync failure.


How frequently does this problem reproduce? (Always, sometimes, hard to
reproduce?)
100%

What is the impact to the user, and is there a workaround? If so, what is
it?
Potentially all users who use the sharing function of Drive and "add to my drive" can be affected.
The file is still saved locally, therefore user can copy it to writable folder manually to avoid data loss.

Steps To Reproduce:
[user A]
(1) Share a Drive folder to B as "can view".
[user B]
(2) Find the shared folder under "shared with me" in web Drive.
(3) Left-click the folder and choose "Add to My Drive".
(4) Open the folder (under My Drive) in the Files app.
(5) Go back to Browser and save a page (or an image, PDF, etc.) to the shared folder.
(6) Go back to the Files app and see the folder.


Actual Result:
User can successfully finish saving/downloading the file to the shared (view-only) folder.

Once the user closes the Files app. window, the error message does not appear again.

Expected Result:
At step 5, user should not be able to save the file to there.
Even when that happened, it'd be safer if user can be aware of the sync failure.
