  We have setup a Windows 2016 File Server on a local cloud provider.
  
  Cloud File Server: CFS01
  
  The Hosted File Server on our LAN is Windows 2012
  
  Hosted File Server: FS01
  
  We have setup Hosted Branch Cache between the "local Cloud providers" and "ho". 
  
  1. Everything looks like working fine. Files open quick. However, we are having issues opening Adobe Indesign files which are a minimum of 25MB plus in size. And we face issues with PDF files too. Is there a way to get them to open faster?
  
  2. We like to understand if the branch cache is working? We open one PDF/INDD file and it takes over 3 minutes to open. However, when we close it and open it again it takes the same time. If branch cache is working as it should the file must open faster, kindly correct me if i am wrong.
  
  3. Can we setup a machine for both hosted & distributed cache?
  
  Below are the results of "Get-BCStatus" on a client computer in our "HO"
