One option would be to have the files and an ArcGIS instance in a shared compiter, and then each of your users Remote Access into that computer. The Remote Access connection is pretty fast and the files are being hosted and accessed locally on that computer at that point.

From: Bear-Paw Regional Greenways Sent: Monday, February 6, 8:12 AM Subject: Shared Drive and ArcMap To: Northeast Arc Users Group I probably should have sent this question out before... We are sharing ArcMap files with two users in a small office. We tried accessing the files on my PC over the network but it was too slow - particularly with directories with lots of layer files. We don't have a server but we set up a shared network drive (Synolgy DS416) and it helped but not as much as we would like. Is there a way to index layer directories in ArcMap to speed up file access? We still don't really use geodatabases yet, is that a possible solution for directories with lots of layer files? If someone could point me to documentation that would help solve the problem it would be very much appreciated.
