When I use the File Manager Preferences tab there is a message indicating that GVFS is not available. "Important features including trash support, removable media and remote location browsing will not work".
I also notice that I cannot use removable storage with any of my VMs, if I attach a storage device to a VM the OS indicates success but the device is not available anywhere.
I think part of the problem is probably that I do not have a sys-usb.

Can someone help me correct these problems?
Is there no solution to this? I don't want to reinstall the OS because it takes some hours to complete and maybe it will make no difference.
Here is more information.
In installation process I made the following selections:
- Templates: Fedora, Debian, Whonix
- Default system qubes YES
- sys-firewall, sys-net and sys-usb disposable YES
- Default application qubes YES
- Qube to hold all USB controllers YES
- sys-net qube for both networking and USB devices YES (I am using a USB ethernet adapter)
- Whonix Gateway and Workstation qubes YES
When I use the File Manager Preferences tab there is a message
indicating that GVFS is not available.
You need to install the gvfs package in the template you are using for your AppVM.
It’s not a standard package installed by default because it relies on many other packages. Do a search in your flavor repository (fedora,debian,etc) for the package and install it in your template, and then restart your AppVM.

But this is not an AppVM or a template, I think. I am seeing this message from Dom0 environment.
Troubleshooting Steps:
a) Boot Qubes 4 and enter password to start login session
b) Open Qubes menu in top panel
c) Open System Tools, File Manager Settings
d) Open Advanced tab
The window title is "[Dom0] File Manager Preferences".
Here is the message under a title "Missing dependencies" and inside a blue box:
> It looks like gvfs is not available.
> Important features ... will not work.
Should the default install omit the GUI file manager in dom0? Having it
and telling people not to use it is rather strange.
