I need help trouble shooting.   I don't know if it is a share issue, network issue, or what.  But for some reason when trying to connect to samba shares from Windows machines (windows 10 laptop, windows 7 desktop, multiple machines) I click on a folder and it takes a very LONG time to get the folder loaded.    I am not sure where to even start troubleshooting.  Permisions are set correct I believe.   Is there a good place to start looking?

 

If I go to terminal and simple cd to the folder.  Everything seems much quicker.   But, just seems when connecting via a windows machine just takes a while to load.   

 

What view do you have set in Windows Explorer?    In my experience List View is fast, but as soon as you select one of the Icon views things slow down dramatically as Windows tries to generate the icons.   This will be particularly the case for folders which contain picture files.
