Bug: Shift override for File Explorer properties doesn't work on Drives #17525

Description

Was told by Josh to add this. In Files 4.0, the override (Hold shift then click Properties) to get to the File Explorer Properties box only works on files and folders, not drives. With drives, it just opens the Files Properties box.

As clarified in #5941 it will work for Drives if you go into the Drive, don't click any folders, then hold shift and click the properties in the toolbar. It does not work if you right click the Drive from the left tree or from Home.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Right-click a file or folder (not a drive) in Files
  2. Hold shift, click Properties
  3. You'll see the File Explorer Properties box as expected.
  4. Right-click a drive in Files
  5. Hold shift, click Properties
  6. You'll see the Files Properties box.
