Bug: Files stops responding while loading network share content

[littleboot]

Description

Files gets stuck / unresponsive or crashes when a network share is not available.

If it gets just stuck it will show an "Network folder error" after a while, this timeout is way to long. Its the same behavior for windows explorer, would be great if this can be fixed in Files by reducing the timeout.

Steps To Reproduce

Have a network folder like an SMB share. Disconnect from network. Try to access the network folder.

Requirements

• To make it crash click on other tabs while it is trying to access the drive that is not available.

Files Version

3.2.2.0

Windows Version

10.0.22621.3155

Thanks for the report, I've added the crash while waiting to the project board.

Windows file system has to be used to get the contents of the network drive and the timeout comes along with it. Files can not change that.
