Description

### Description

Files gets stuck / unresponsive or crashes when a network share is not available.

If it gets just stuck it will show an "Network folder error" after a while, this timeout is way to long.
Its the same behavior for windows explorer, would be great if this can be fixed in Files by reducing the timeout.

### Steps To Reproduce

Have a network folder like an SMB share.
Disconnect from network.
Try to access the network folder.

### Requirements

- To make it crash click on other tabs while it is trying to access the drive that is not available.

### Files Version

3.2.2.0

### Windows Version
