When connecting to network drives (e.g. using ExpanDrive) every operation takes a long time.

I've discovered this is due to the Finder trying to render an icon preview of every music file and PDF it encounters. Over the network, this can take a long time.

I know I can turn off icon previews on a per-folder basis using the "View Options" dialog. Is it possible to change these settings globally?
