Our users are complaining about very slow network performance when opening or saving files to a network shared folder in Windows. When a user opens a shared folder via a UNC path, or via a drive letter (if the shared folder is mapped as a network drive), its contents are displayed only in 10-60 seconds. When creating new files in a network folder, they are also not displayed immediately, but with a long delay after 3-4 minutes (even if you update the folder contents with the F5 key). However, if you manually specify the full file name via a UNC path (\\lon-file-srv1\public\new_file.docx), it will open, although it won’t be visible in the File Explorer.
