Pages, Keynote, Numbers files slow to open on iCloud
Pages, Keynote, and Numbers files in a shared icloud folder are taking 20 to 40 seconds to open. Preview, MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel files in the same shared folder open instantly. If I turn off my wifi while it is opening, it will often solve the problem.
My internet is fast and I am not running a VPN, antivirus or cleaner program. This has been going on for a long time (multiple reboots for other reasons).
I tried apple support. They had me forget my wifi network and reconnect. This fixed the problem for files I had just opened before but not for files I hadn't touched in a while.
If this were just an issue of shared folder files taking longer, wouldn't it be the same for Preview and MS files? Any help would be appreciated.
