Are there any methods to improve the download speed of PDF files from a shared folder within the same network?

Hi @fcolumbus

When you say download, are you using any ui activities in there to save files as?

Or just copying files?

Please note few points:

  1. avoid any ui interactions as much as possible.

  2. try using api based alternatives instead(Google Drive, SharePoint api etc)

  3. you can only do so much about files from network drive as it also depends on internet connectivity, network latency and file size etc.

  4. you may try to copy multiple files in parallel.

But again, if you share more details on how you are doing it currently, we can help identify if flow can be further optimized or not.

Hope this helps.
