Hey Andrew Smith, welcome to our Community!
In regards to the behavior of the files on the device, and how slow they behave: may I ask, approximately how many files are you syncing via the desktop app?
Is it more than our soft limit of 300K files? Can you perhaps use selective sync for folders you don't need locally on your computer to lessen its load to see if this improves matters?
Alternatively, if you're using a paid plan, you can make some files online-only.
Keep me posted!
