you can prevent macOS from reading .DS_Store files on SMB shares. This makes the Finder use only basic information to immediately display each folder's contents in alphanumeric order. Use this Terminal command:

```bash
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores -bool FALSE```
