Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When adding external storage folder (e.g. SMB) they integrate nicely. But when deleting elements out of those folder they will be moved to local trash bin, which can take a very long time depending on the file size, connection, etc. and this may sometimes even not be desired.
Describe the solution you'd like
A good general solution would be to disable trash bin manually on a per folder basis. Or in the settings where the user can list folders to be excluded.
Describe alternatives you've considered
One alternative would be to outsource the solution specifically to the external storage add-on and provide a similar option only there on a per share basis.

Define whether completion means per-folder configuration, a global exclusion list, or an external-storage-specific option, then verify the chosen behavior against both local and external folders.
