Network Recycle Bin - Personal Bin

Post by James »

Although I have not used any of QNAP products, I had been asking QNAP support about the Network Recycle Bin features.

Here is what I understand this features does right now:
The recycle bin is actually a shared folder that appears after the NAS drive is mounted. When a user deletes his file(s), the file is moved to this shared folder.

The problem right now is that this same shared folder or recycle bin folder is visible to all. So if User A deletes his/her file, User B can actually retrieve it.

The only workaround would be to restrict the access to the recycle bin folder to the Administrator. But that means the Adminstrator has to do the recover for the User.

I hope QNAP will consider creating a Personal Recycle Bin (or something similar) for each user created. That way, the user can recover his/her own files that were accidently deleted.

Cheers.

Dear James:
The personal recycle bin is a good idea. Thanks for your valuable input. It was not in our original roadmap but we will take this great idea into consideration for future enhancement.

Thanks
Best regards,
Ivan

Nice one James. I can see that it would be very handy in a multi-user environment.

Hi all,
If you think about a personal recycle bin, you may have to deal with it's aging or sizing.

Surely the Network Recycle can just accept deletes from all users, without it's self having all user access??

+1. I don't allow users to see the Recycle Bin because they can see everyone's files (they might guess the folder name, though).

I wonder if it could be made a per User or per Group feature, where I could create a Recycle Bin, and assign it individually (QNAPIvan's post was a long time ago!). I use purgenrb to clean up.
