I have barely recently begun trying this "feature," of getting files
remotely, as if I were on the LAN.

So far, it's too slow to be useful. I have SMB2+, I think 3 even.

My server (vpn) connection is solid, my current location connection is
marginal -- at best, like 6/1mbps down/upload speed, if even.

I have learned, through researching this issue, that SMB is a terrible
protocol for this, and it probably won't work very efficiently.

Is this true? Am I trying to put a square peg in a round hole?

Or, am I just doing something wrong?

My test case:

I have a lot of files I would like to access from anywhere. I have a
cloud setup already, but the downside with that is that it mirrors
everything, and I don't want my limited laptop space to be used. I can
access them via a web interface, but not in the "simply" SMB way.
