In the screenshot posted by haveasuperday, a user of the social bulletin board site Reddit, the file '._. DS_Store' violates the copyright infringement policy of Google Drive, so some functions related to that file are included. I'm getting a warning message to limit.
We know that similar messages have been received by people other than haveasuperday.
Got one too. I uploaded a folder which had a Mac system file in it

'Your file' ._. DS_Store 'containing content that violates Google Drive's Copyright Infringement policy and hence, some features related to this file may have been restricted.'
'.DS_Store' is a file that stores information about folders that is automatically generated on macOS. There are 'desktop.ini' and 'thumbs.db' as files that play the same role in Windows, and they are similar in that they are usually treated as hidden files.
The reason why this happens is unknown, and when the news site Bleeping Computer contacted Google, there was a reply that it was considered to be an 'edge case' that rarely occurs under extreme circumstances. It was said that.
In January 2022, Google Drive became a hot topic when there was a copyright infringement warning for a text file containing only numbers.

With the December 2021 update, Google Drive has begun strict crackdowns, including restricting access to files when users violate their policies.

The notification sent to the user by this crackdown has an icon requesting a review saying 'It is a wrong decision, so please reconfirm', but the case where the data entered as '1' is judged to be copyright infringement Eventually, the message 'Cannot request a review' has come out, and I'm not sure if Google will respond properly to the end this time as well.
