Feature: Redirect tab to home page when drive is unmounted

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

In File Explorer, whenever you unmount a drive or a removable device while folders are still open, those folders will automatically close. Having the tabs still displayed while the actual drive is no longer accessible will be useless.

Requirements

  • Close all tabs related to the drive as soon as the user unmounted/disconnected that drive or
  • Redirect the tabs to "Home" similarly to what File Explorer does

Files Version

2.3.42.0

Windows Version

10.0.22623.730

The UX in File Explorer is confusing as it closes the app even when you want to continue using it. Displaying a popup notification might be better.
