How to stop Trash/Bin syncing across Macs?

I have Documents & Desktop set to sync across my Macs via iClouds but I've noticed that my Trash contents also sync, which I don't want. Is there a way to stop this?

Trash/bin synk? I have one iMac and one Macbook Pro, same Apple ID logged in on both machines. If I delete a file on the iMac, it shows up automatically in Trash on the MBP. If I do same thing the other way around, no sync seems to occur. I don't know if the Trash folder is actually supposed to be synchronised. But if it is, why does it only go one way? /LS

Not seeing iCloud Trash it in my MBA Trash I posted this question in the iCloud Forum, but though I might get an answer here. If I delete a file on my iPad, its moved to /Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~is~workflow~my~workflows/Documents/.Trash I also have 2 Macs (a Mac-mini and a MacBook Air), but I only see the deleted file in the Trash folder on the mini, not the Air. (Also if I open Terminal, and cd to /Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~is~workflow~my~workflows/Documents/.Trash and ls, Its only visible on the mini. I see all my iCloud files in Finder ( /Library/Mobile Documents/ ) Anyone know why am I not seeing the iCloud Trash on my MBA?
