Sharing with Drive is only expected to work with chrome://flags#enable-drive-fs

Comment 3 by rohi...@chromium.org, Nov 26 

Joel, is chrome://flags#enable-drive-fs flag enabled by default in M72 (or planned to be) ?

Comment 4 by avkodipelli@chromium.org, Nov 26 

Observed "Share with Linux" option after Enabling the chrome://flags#enable-drive-fs.

Observed few other issues after that:
1, After sharing Google drive(My Drive) using "Share with Linux", files are not showing under /mnt/chromeos/
2, My Drive shared path is observed at chrome://settings/crostini/sharedPaths?search=linux but files are not showing in linux.
2, "Share with Linux" option is again showing while right click on My drive. But files are not showing linux.
3, After rebooting the device, My Drive files are showing in Linux.

The flag is being rolled out using finch.

Comment 6 by joelhockey@chromium.org, Nov 26 

Did you restart the device after enabling the flag?  If drivefs is not mounted at startup there can be issues.

But from a fresh reboot, it is expected that sharing files should be available in linux immediately.

Comment 7 by avkodipelli@chromium.org, Nov 26 

After enabling flag, there was a restart option which restarted browser but not entire device. 
I did manual reboot and then it was working fine.

Comment 8 by joelhockey@chromium.org, Nov 26 

This is a known issue which is not expected to be fixed before M72.   crbug.com/908289 .

If everything is working OK after a reboot, feel free to set this bug as blocked on 90829, or as a duplicate of it.

Re #5: I didn't have to enable a flag during my testing so that explains it. Thanks!
