Slow SMB browsing In a corporate environment, we're seeing long delays for Mac users when first accessing an SMB share. We have a range of device types and OS versions (Monterrey and Ventura). It takes several minutes (or sometimes longer) to enumerate the folder contents before displaying, and this behaviour appears to be what is described in Adjust SMB browsing behavior in macOS - Apple Support However, I have implemented this DSDontWriteNetworkStores policy on my test Mac (MacBook Pro 2018, OS 12.4) and it unfortunately makes no difference, still there is a very long delay when first opening an SMB share. Once the share is finally displayed, the performance thereafter seems to be fine, its just the first display of the folders that takes ages (e.g. in this case there are around 1200 folders). Is there any other way to ensure that Finder quickly displays the folder contents?

smb file sharing stopped after installing Ventura I have an old Mac Mini running on Monterey on which I share a folder containing all my files. It was accessible from my Mac Studio with Monterey for months now. Since I updated my Mac Studio to Ventura, it became impossible to access the shared folder on my Mac Mini. I still can access my Mac mini with "Screen Sharing" and I can confirm that the share is still there and I can access the share from another computer, on the same network, running Windows 11 but NOT from my Mac Studio. Can someone help me understand what's going on ?
