Strange Shared OneDrive behavior.
We have some shared folders on OneDrive that are used by both Mac users and PC (Win10) users. If a Mac user deletes one of these files on their local drive it goes both to their trash on the Mac, and to the trash on OneDrive. But if a PC user deletes the file, it is just gone. No wastebasket, nothing in the OneDrive online trash. We want the PC's to behave the same way as the Mac's.
I'm the admin on the 365 install, is there a setting I'm missing?
And don't forget if you have files on demand and your deletes go to your cloud recycle bin - you have a second stage recycle bin for additional peace of mind for this very reason.
Have fun.

- PC's should not do this behavior, mine does as the mac, and goes to trash local and in cloud recycle bin. Odd.
- Are you sure it's not on the recycle bin on the Online OneDrive? If you use Files On-Demand for PC the file will not go to recycle bin unless you have it set to always be offline.
- And Mac which isn't Files On Demand unless you download the preview version basically sync's everything offline is why that behavior occurs. What you need to do on PC is turn off Files on Demand if you want it to work the way your mac is working. Keep in mind it will consume the diskspace fully of the OneDrive files on the sync when turning off.
