Please add configuration option to show / hide mounted drives in Ubuntu Dock

I have upgraded from Disco to Eoan Beta and have found that the dock permanently displays and icon for my Google Account's shared files. I can make the icon disappear from the dock via Gnome Settings -> Online Accounts -> Google -> Untick 'Files'. USB devices also show up in this way.

It appears that this is a new Dock feature which can only be turned off / on via the command line thus:

gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-mounts false
gsettings set org.gnome.shell.extensions.dash-to-dock show-mounts true

I believe average users should be able to configure this via a GUI, so can this be incorporated into the Gnome Control Center for the 20.04 LTS release?

Thank you for your bug report, that would probably makes sense to add indeed

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-control-center - 1:41.1-1ubuntu3

gnome-control-center (1:41.1-1ubuntu3) jammy; urgency=medium

  [ Marco Trevisan (Treviño) ]
  * debian/patches: Refresh
  * d/p/u/display-Allow-fractional-scaling-to-be-enabled.patch:
    Ensure renderer is initialized.
    It may not be the case when running with non-patched mutter, so not a
    bug, but this helps in development scenarios.
  * d/p/u/Allow-tweaking-some-settings-for-Ubuntu-Dock.patch:
    - Do not crash if gedit is not installed
  * ubuntu-panel: Save dock monitor by connector and support primary monitor
    Dash to dock used to use the shell's monitor ID to pick the monitor in
    which should be used, however this is not something that worked well
    in case one switches configuration or uses a laptop in different
    scenarios as the dock may be moved to the wrong display.
    As per this:
     - Add a "Primary monitor" item, to bind the dock position to the
       primary monitor (whatever it is)
     - Store the selected monitor by its connector
     - Add backward compatibility support for the old 'preferred-monitor'
       key, and migrate to it.
    Related to: https://github.com/micheleg/dash-to-dock/pull/1630
  * multitasking-panel: Sync workspace and monitor isolation dock settings.
    When using ubuntu-dock the multitasking panel setting doesn't fully
    apply, because even though the user selects to isolate workspaces, the
    dock may still continue to show icons from all the workspaces.
    As per this, ensure that the settings are applied also to the dock, plus
    include dock-specifc settings to control multi-monitor behavior.
  * ubuntu-panel: Use libhandy widgets for the dock section.
    This will help with Gtk and libadwaita porting in future, so let's just
    such widgets that are also more integrated with the current g-c-c design
  * ubuntu-panel: Use more modern libadwaita widgets for dock settings.
    This should make gtk4 porting even easier, plus we can be more consitent
    with the majority of other g-c-c panels.
  * ubuntu-panel: Add dock specific dialog to control.
    Add a dock settings dialog to control some more specific settings.
    So far we only support toggling the visualization of device and trash
    icons, but this could be extended more in future. (LP: #1846205)

  * ubuntu-panel: Improve appearance-page to use more consistent look
    - Make use of HdyPrefrencesPage for Appearance-panel.
    - Make use of HdyPrefrencesGroup for Window colors.
    - Make use of custom css style classes from appearance.css
    - Update the light/dark variant preview images (LP: #1943849)
