You could always set the default behavior to be uniform for all files (e.g. protect everything or protect nothing) and just forget about it. But it would be nice to be able to manually set the protection level for specific files that are the exception. If I was copying an important file into an unprotected environment, I could change how it was handled (likewise if I was downloading some huge video I didn't care about into a system where the default protection was set to high). I agree that if you have 100 million files, then it could be nearly impossible to classify every single one of them correctly.
