As far as I know, windows explorer has been extremely slow for this kind of operation for ages.
It's not even explainable by requiring a file list before starting the operation, I have no idea what it is about Windows explorer, it's just broken for such use cases.
Just recently, I had to look up how to write a robocopy script because simply copying a 60GB folder with many files from a local network drive was unbelievably slow (not to mention resuming failed operations). The purpose was exactly what I wrote: copy a folder in Windows explorer.
What does this have to do with React or JavaScript?
