Comment 36 for bug 185986

same issue on popos 21.04, I have the same behaviour as Vidvranjek. I believe nautilus does not recognize the folder as a dav mount and just tries to download the entire folder (probably to get file information or similar) instead of doing partial requests (which I don't know if they are implemented yet in davfs2 as far 2016 goes https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?109044)

Mounting the drive via the "account" feature of popos solves the issue because nautilus sees it as a remote drive and doesn't try to have the same behaviour
