Empty Trash on Google Drive

Feature requests
#1

Sorry for my English, this is not my native language.

I wish an option to delete file from my local disk and that file can’t going to trash on Google Drive.

I know, the Google Drive API don’t have this function, but has a function to delete files, which can be used to delete files from trash.

Here the link of API https://developers.google.com/drive/v2/reference/files/delete

I will be happy if this with added to InSync

Thnaks for the attention

This is something that might compromise safety so we will not be implementing this, however, we will have an empty (Insync) trash feature for 2.0 :smile:

This is exactly what is missing in Insync!

A safer option would be (like Dropbox and many other cloud storage services) to delete trashed files after a specified period of time.

I wrote a Python script just for that.
