Windows applications becoming unresponsive if interacting with unsynced files

Windows Explorer and various other applications (e.g. VLC, Adobe Premiere Pro) all become unresponsive if trying to load/use Box files which are not synced offline. Responsiveness is always restored eventually when the file is downloaded, but this can take a while for large files.

Just wanted to check if this is expected behaviour, as it is quite disruptive...
