    <p>I access files over a network and haven't really noticed a speed
      issue, but I use NFS, which is not available on Windows (my
      computers run Linux)</p>
    <p>there are other file formats, geopackage is not the only one out
      there - spatialite also uses SQLite.<br>

      <div dir="ltr">I do appreciate the good advice to use DBMS, I am
        doing that too and understand the advantages. I would never
        consider using a geopackage if I thought that multiple people
        would want to edit them at the same time. But that is not
        the case and that is not my problem. Sometimes, I just want to
        keep geodata in a file on a network share and run the risk (in
        my case insignificant) that the file will be corrupted by multi
        user access. This I can do with shapefiles, but unlike the
        shapefiles, I have to set the read-only flag on the
        geopackages stored on the network to get decent rendering speed,
        without ever wanting to edit the files. I think wanting to use
        file based storage for geodata in a networked environment is not
        unreasonable, even if there is some danger of corruption. All
        file based formats are probably subject to that risk, but I
        repeat, that issue is not what I am talking about, just the
        rendering speed of data in a geopackage that is not set to
        read-only.
        <div>I suspect that there is no solution and that I will just
          have to live with this - as I have done for years. It is just
          a bit annoying. And I am surprised how little it is discussed.<br
