Bug Description
Simple operations suchas copy / paste from one folder to another are made difficult because of the owner / permission system.
What I suggest is that if a user trys to copy eg: ~/Icon.png from ~/ to /usr/share/
"Error opening file '/usr/share/
It should have a popup that says
"The directory you are trying to copy to is a "system folder" owned by "root", please authenticate to continue."

Several times every day I have to drop to guake and launch "sudo pantheon-files" or "gksu pantheon-files" just to simply copy a file between user | root and www
I would highly recommend and request this feature please.
