File compression
Posted: Sat Mar 25, 2023 9:45 am
i put COW files in the cloud to be accessed by multiple computers. My new computer handles this very well. My old computer seemed to manage this well for several days.
Recently my older computer has slowed down on files that I've accessed before. Those files have blue arrows. This seems to indicate file compression and archiving. I've turned off those features. That returns operations to normal, but only for a few moves. After I close the file, I see that compression and archiving have been turned on again.
I'd like to turn off compression permanently. I don't know how, or whether I should do so at the computer level, folder level, or for individual files. Maybe this is a "feature" of cloud storage. Any help would be appreciated.
