Well, actually just across networks, where it’s the most infuriating. If you run servers and you’re sick of having to clean up the bajillions of .DS_Store files macs dump everywhere on your drives, get the mac support person/s to read this brief documentation then get them to make the appropriate changes on the macs attached to the network. It won’t make the problem go away, but it will reduce the volume somewhat. I understand the usefulness of these files but I think Apple is being a bad network citizen by shipping their machines with this setting on by default. It makes sense on an all-mac network, which exists in maybe .01% of the networks in the world. The rest of the world’s networks would appreciate Mac’s keeping their metadata to themselves.
