  I recently had relocated my repos from direct attached storage (Drobos) to network attached storage (Synology NAS). I discovered that GitKraken barely functions when opening a repository on a network connection. In this case it was a Synology DS1520+ that is sitting right next to my computer. Despite the fact I have a very fast network, GitKraken was barely able to function over it. Pretty much all functions took many minutes to occur, and in many cases the application simply crashed.
  
  I spoke with Chris in support who was able to independently replicate this problem on his end. This issue forced me to completely redesign how I store and backup repos. I ended up moving all my repos to a new M.2 SSD (locally connected), and am now backing everything up to the NAS in real-time. It's working well, but this all should have been unnecessary. GitKraken should be able to function on a fast network connection just like it can with local connections.

  Agree, I also put my data in cloud storage (such as Google Drive or Dropbox) and had performance issue.
