When I mount an Azure Fileshare from my Azure DevOps pipeline and copy files to the file share via robocopy, this is with 80 Megabytes per minute (12 MBit/s) very slow:

I use a StorageV2 account. Azure DevOps and the storage account are in different regions. This is the robocopy command I use:
robocopy ..\my_directory z:\my_directory /E /NS /NC /NP /XD .git /MT:32 /W:5
... and this is how I have mounted the azure fileshare inside the pipeline:
New-PSDrive -Name $(storage.drive) -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "$(storage.unc)" -Persist
Is this normal? How can I make it significantly faster?
It got lightning fast (1 minute, 30 seconds) when I moved the azure fileshare to the same region as the Azure DevOps Pipeline.
The region of Azure DevOps is displayed in the organizational settings of Azure Devops.
