Or use the PowerShell command from the built-in SMBShare module: Select the second option “ No files or programs from the shared folder are available offline”. Open the properties of the shared folder, and go to the Sharing tab -> Advanced Sharing -> Caching. You can disable SMB caching in the shared folder settings. If you are experiencing slow access to a network share on a Windows client device, you can try disabling the SMB metadata caching on the client side or in the shared folder settings. By default, this cache is cleared every 10 seconds. This reduces the traffic and the number of SMB requests between the client and the server (especially effective on in slow and unreliable networks).

Starting with SMB v2.x (see the table with Server Message Block protocol versions), the Network Redirector uses a caching mechanism when accessing shared folders and files over the network. Windows uses a special Network Redirector component when access shared files and other network resources on remote computers.
