Wide area network file shares

We have someone trying to improve SMB file transfer speeds to a file share from the USA to Europe and Asia from a windows 10 machine. Within the US the speeds are acceptable due to the lower latency. I remember back in the day when I was still messing a bit with AD that distributed file shares were a thing to synchronize file shares across multiple sites. It’s been 8 years though and things might have changed. What is the best way to provide lower latency synchronized shares to clients? We use NetApp a lot, we’re a global enterprise with on-prem AD / Azure AD, O365, Secure AWS access to 12 regions, etc. What are some of the best current methods to provide this ensuring files are kept in-sync between different regions and allow for some form of version control or conflict resolution in case of file-changes on both ends at the same time?
