Description

trash

if you delete something from a shared folder, the file/folder is in your and the owner trash. This is great so everybody can restore the file.

audit log

If you don't cleanup your trash (which you shouldn't do as a user) there are a huge number of files and folders in this trash and the trash look like a muck hill.

Therefore I would ask for a mix between trash and logging software where you can search / filter for files and folders on a very specific way and it's easier to find the missing file in the trash.

trash folder structure

As user you ordinary know where the file/folder you are looking for was, before you delete it. So if there is the same folder structure at the trash than in your ordinary file system it will be way easier to navigate there.
