How do I change to a copy-on-drag behavior (fileprovider)

When exposing mounted volumes on a network, the user expects drag&drop to default to copy (not move from local disk). This UX is kind of standardized when connecting a thumb drive or usb ssd drive. So I find it confusing why we can't define in FileProvider the UTTypeVolume to ensure the user gets a more expected copy-on-drag behavior. Please let me know if there are ways to achieve this that I've missed. i.e. I want both "drag to" & "drag from" a file provider volume to result in the green "+" (without having to teach the user to hold the alt-key)

Hide the "cloud icons" with FileProvider

Hi, I'm working on something that is not a cloud-sync utility. I'd like to hide/remove the cloud icons that show up default with FileProvider. The mount should mimic the behaviour of any attached usb-volume, so all features like "auto-mirror" / cache is something I want to disable. Instead the user should simply see the files and be able to drag & drop them to or from a folder on their Mac to the mounted FileStream volume. Please let me know if there are ways to do this to simplify the UX for the user. Thanks joemet

Why no Quicklook with fileprovider?

Hi, When using FileProvider, files visualised in Finder does not trigger a download to visualise or audition the file when hitting space (for quicklook) Can this be configured somehow?
