Description
This could be user error....
From the taskbar widget, clicked the "Open Public Folder" for a user that doesn't have the KBFS client yet. The action opened up the public location on K:, all good there. Attempted to copy a file into that folder and it failed. Please see the attached error message.
Cheers,
James

Research direction
Start by reproducing the taskbar widget's "Open Public Folder" flow for a user without the KBFS client, then try copying a file into the resulting K:\ location. Review the attached error message and compare the behavior with a working Public Folder; done means files can be copied successfully or the failure has a clear, actionable diagnosis.
