  • OS: Windows
  • Version of IPFS Desktop 0.16.0

Describe the bug
Adding files via right click in the explorer is pretty cool, but instead of adding the file just to the MFS, it is also locally pinned. Why?

I mean, the only reason to pin an item in the MFS is when it's lazily added via CID and you want it to be downloaded completly.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Add a file via right-click in explorer -> Add to ipfs
  2. Open the IPFS GUI

This is a bug, we should not pin it, adding to MFS is enough.
Should be 1 line fix.
