Meanwhile I know how to delete folders and files like .AppleDouble, .AppleDB
and .DS_Store from my NAS.

As I use the NAS also with my Windows and Linux devices I prefer these files and folders not even to be created (I understand it might be necessary for a smooth working OSX, but on most of these directories I will have no frequent access with my mac and therefore I don't want these files.

How can I learn Yosemite not to create such files on either network shares (NAS) or USB devices?

P.s. want to know how to avoid the creation of .AppleDouble etc. For .DS_Store I do know the solution....

defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true

Should have the desired effect.

Unfortunately not, this works only for the DS_Store files ... this solution I do know ...

I am looking for a solution of the.AppleDouble trouble
