shared folders are slow

Hello!

I have running windows 7 on Workstation 14 pro on Centos 7.6.

I use it for powerful  CAD (PTC Creo, ANSYS pre and postprocessing)

I know, there are some threads here dealing with this aim (folder sharing),

but I tried some proposed solutions without success, other threads are very old.

Working with mapped network drives runs very fine.

But now, I want to work outside my office without network

For this aim, I synced my shares using rsync to my host system (CentOS).

Then I tried to use them at my guest system windows via ,Folder Sharing'

It works, but very, very slowly. That is no solution for me.

At my windows system, Kaspersky is also running.

I don't want to stop it, because I have no virus scanner at linux,

and so, the windows system should scan my files.

I have seen, that the velocity of ,Folder Sharing' is a very old problem here.

Is there no solution until now?

Greetings,

H.Steffen
