Source column for search roots

Project Member Reported by hirono@chromium.org, Sep 26 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: ToT
OS: Chrome OS

In Chrome OS Files app, Recent, Images, Videos, and Audio are search roots which just provide a view for files which meet some conditions.

The files in search roots are actually located somewhere else. To know where the files come from, I'd like to see 'source' column in Files app.

weifangsun@ - This is a random idea for improvements but it would be great if you are interested in.

hirono@ - Thanks for the suggestion! Definitely interested in adding this as I agree it would help provide more transparency to users.

Weifang, what are good next steps for this? :)

Marked this one as won't fix for now.

With the current approach we are planning to take, I'm hoping the core reason for this request (media folders being only a view) should be resolved.
