Slow Behavior or Error Messages in Collections
Some cloud services use placeholders and only download files as required. If you have laggy behavior with Collections, set the Collection to be stored locally. For example, for a folder or SnapGene Collection on OneDrive, right click on the folder and choose to "Always keep on this device". This will ensure all files are readily accessible to SnapGene.
