On both computers Finder / Pathfinder read the files in the iCloud.The Mac mini server is set up in our server room connected to a windows desktop via ethernet. In fact, the file I have deleted on my iMac can still be opened on my MacBook Pro, while the file is (was) in the iCloud. When I delete a file on my iMac it does not disappear in Finder / Pathfinder on my MacBook Pro. When I download a file or save a file on my iMac it doesn't appear in Finder / Pathfinder on my MacBook Pro. The other way around it doesn't work anymore. When I delete a file on my MacBook Pro it also disappears a second later in Finder and Pathfinder on my iMac. When I download a file on my MacBook Pro it appears a second later in Finder and Pathfinder on my iMac, as it should.

Since I have installed Big Sur on my MacBook Pro, both Finder and Pathfinder (version 9.4, which I actually prefer above Finder) don't work properly synchronized on both computers anymore. Now that I work at home, I use both Macs side by side. What else can I do to speed it up? It's terrible right now.Īnd I will not upgrade my Mojave OS to Catalin, becasue there is no more 32bit file support.įinder Big Sur can't find files saved with High Sierra Hi,ĭuring this pandemic I work at home on two Macs simultaneously:ġ - On my older iMac 27 inch (late 2009), running on MacOS High Sierra Ģ - On my MacBook Pro 2018, running on MacOS Big Sur (which I use for business). In my test lab, I copied the shared folders (5 TB) to the NAS and enabled AFP on there, but it worked worse than on a Windows 2012 server with the above settings.

I tried Acronis AFP app, but it doesn't change anything either. Thanks to these changes, I reduced the waiting time from 30 minutes to 20 minutes for the folders to show up.īut this isn't solve this, there is still something like shared folder indexing (spotlight) but this doesn't change anything (tried with enabled and disabled spotlight shared folder indexing) I struggle with very slow loading (browsing) of shared files via SMB (Windows 2012) on my MAC with Mojavo OS.ĭefaults write DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool TRUEĮcho 'dir_cache_async_cnt=0' > /etc/nfĮcho 'dir_cache_off=yes' > /etc/nfĮcho 'smb_neg=smb2_only' > /etc/nfĮcho 'signing_required=no' > /etc/nfĮcho '_ack=0' > /etc/nf
