Feature: Display modals for drive errors during file transfer
What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
It would be more helpful if we can tell the user that the drive is full, has insufficient free space, and/or disconnected during file transfers, specially for flash drives.
Requirements
- Display a modal for when there's not enough space on a drive
- Include the additional size needed to transfer the file(s)
- If the drive is disconnected during transfer, notify the user by displaying a modal

Would a link to storage sense be useful when there isn't enough space?
Regarding storage sense, I personally don't use it because of its lack of details, unlike WinDirStat.
Whenever I transfer files and a drive is full, I usually go to some directory (using explorer) and delete the ones I don't use anymore to free up space, and then click the "Try again" to continue the transfer without having to start all over again
I think the useful thing is to have that Try again option so users can delete files in the meantime and continue the transfer after that process.
