The issue you are facing: File and folder access is very sloooooow

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? Y: Problems ever since using a new disk on my Macbook AIr. Previously not a problem on same Mac with different disk; both SSD.

When using Finder or using Files Save As etc in Applications, I have to wait sometimes minutes to get a response. Also simialr when opening/saving files/folders in other applications (eg LibreOffice). So working with Synced files/folders is incredibly inefficient. I don’t have this problem with Synced files on Dropbox, and didn’t used to have this problem with Synced files from same Nextcloud location, but working with previous set-up (different disk, probably earlier macOS vesion but not sure what version it was).

Thanks, Colin
