Dolphin does not affect this behavior, it is affected by KIO.

A zero value of MaximumRemoteSize means that preview will be created for no
file.
This was done on purpose (and it was so until recent changes), because creating
previews for remote files is more expensive in terms of using network
resources, so the most appropriate default value would be to turn off these
previews.

But do you really need to build previews for super-large remote files, with a
size of 1 TiB or more? If yes, then you can specify such a limit (for example,
10 or 100 or 1000 TiB) in Dolphin settings or manually in `kdeglobals` file.

P.S The GUI setting for `EnableRemoteFolderThumbnail` will most likely be in
the next Dolphin release. Maybe at 24.05?
