Very slow file listing access on Amazon server

At work, I access a folder that has some 15,000 subfolders. For years, up until around November, accessing that folder with FreeCommander was instant. Then I could see the contents and then filter very quickly for the subfolder name I am after.
Our IT department sent a "we're doing something or other between such-and-such times so login will be unavailable" message back in November. Since that time, opening up the top level folder (that has 15,000 subfolders) takes forever to show the contents. Well over a minute I'd say. Maybe two, I haven't timed it. And filtering is now terribly slow as well. Going from a subfolder to the top level folder is just as slow.
Given that I have no control over how we have our work folders arranged, and can't do anything about having 15,000 folders, is there something I can do to FreeCommander to get proper access to that folder again? Unfortunately, I've been relegated to having to use the native File Explorer window to access that folder now, which is god awful. I can't believe that people still use that when they can use FreeCommander for their file operations. And now, sadly, I've had to use that as well.
