Disable MacOS creation of .ds_store files on network shares

I’m always forgetting this command, so I’m archiving it here. This is a per user setting, so you will have to run it for every user.

$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

To turn it off again:

$ defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores false
