Feature: Modal for disabled drag'n'drop in Admin Mode

See original GitHub issue

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

#13134 disabled several instance of drag and drop through the app to prevent a crash when running admin mode. (See #12390)

Regardless, there is no way for the user to see it’s an intended behavior. A modal should be displayed when the user tries to drag and drop in those situations, with a don't show again checkbox.

The disable situations are:

Drag and drop in the main view
Drag and drop in the tag edition settings tab
Drag and drop to reorder favorites

Requirements

This proposal will enhance the user experience by providing feedback.

Files Version

2.5.22

Windows Version

10.0.19045.3324

Drag and drop in the tag edition settings tab

I’m not sure we can do this one because you can only display one content dialog at a given time.

Good side of getting dialog only at start then eliminates the need to get it to pop-up at the point.
