Description

First of all: Great work, I am impressed, really, I haven't used Files for a while but now it's just amazing, thanks for this great replacement!

I am trying to copy files with the alternative data stream attribute (ADS) to an SMB share.

Windows Explorer will show me this:
The file has properties that can't be copied to this location - I can ignore this and the file will be copied.

Files doesn't show anything, only in the tasks list that the transfer has failed.

It's ADS releated. Can copy all other files or the same file without the ADS thing.

Steps To Reproduce

Sample ADS file creation with cmd:

echo good > good.txt
echo bad > bad.txt
good.txt>ads-file.txt:bad.txt

Try to copy ads-file,txt an SMB share that doesn't support this (ubuntu with an ext4 share for example).

Expected behavior

File should be copied.

I don't have this problem with my Synology NAS servers, only with my custom SMB share that I run on Ubuntu, but the warning/question should appear on Files or the copy process should just work.
