Hello!!!
IMHO, if you are trying to access from a computer, to a server in the same VLAN, this should not pass throuht the Fortigate
If you have different VLANs or LANs, passing through the Fortigate, I think you could add another rule, before the rule that is restricting everything, for the file server with a traffic shapper without limitations
Also, you could restrict the rule that is restricting the traffic, for example, if you have "ALL" as destination, you could just create an address group to select the destinations to apply the shaper and select this address group in the rule, instead of "ALL".

i have a file sharing server inside my LAN (same network) how can i bypass from traffic limit?
I think this traffic is not passing through the Fortigate
If I am right, Fortigate is not limiting this traffic and you cannot do anything in the Fortigate.

Hi @shani786
If the traffic are on the same vlan, it will not go through Fortigate.
To isolate this you might need to directly test the speed on your file
share server and compare the speed.
