Good. Why would one user's view preferences have an effect on another user? That is what happens if .DS_Store files are left on the server.
- bombcar 4y agoIt makes a weird sort of sense if you consider the folder to be like a stockroom - when you tell someone the box they want is “on the right as you enter” you expect it to be in the same place you saw it.
