| Apple doesn't support trash directories (or temporary item directories) on network volumes and hasn't for quite a while because there is no good mechanism to clean up trash on network volumes (i.e., if a user mounts a network volume, moves files to the trash, unmounts the network volume, and never returns to that network volume, files are left in the trash forever). The only network locations that still support trash are network home directories -- in this case, the trash folder is within the network home directory so any user quotas can be enforced and documents moved to the trash are still within that user's control (no privacy issues).

Hi,
I’m currently working on a network filesystem that can only be used by one user at any time (similarly to a cloud drive).
Since only one user manipulates the files at any time, it would be interesting to have a network Trash. Is this something that can be done? Either by exposing a “Trash enabled” capability for the filesystem, or perhaps in the kernel extension for the filesystem?
Thanks,
