High CPU Usage on macOS Catalina.... This is very annoying!

Hey guys,

I've been feeling very frustrated about OneDrive:

Ever since I've switched to Catalina on my MBP 15", OneDrive keeps spinning up a bunch of processes called "OneDrive Finder Integration", about 5-6 of them and then Finder goes over 130% along with another system-level process. Needless to say, this kicks up the fans to the full speed and, if running on battery, chews up through so much of the battery. The only other way around this is to pause the app which defeats the whole point of having a "cloud" backup. I've looked around, run a bunch of scripts suggested, uninstalled, reset and then reinstalled the app with no success. Can someone help me with this?

BTW, why can't I check my Preferences (where the version number is accessible) when OneDrive is paused?!!! this is just poor planning as far as I'm concerned!

    Has there been any progress at all with Microsoft on this? This has been a problem now for well over a year and the usual responses involve removing functionality. Numerous people have reported it on numerous forums but we seem to get nowhere. It's like buying a car and being told that you can solve its performance problems by removing its wheels.

    Do Microsoft really have any idea what is going on? At what point should Mac Users of OneDrive be seeking some form of compensation for a product that is clearly not fit for purpose.

    version doesn’t really matter anymore....if you are on insider builds, tech support asks you to switch to production version....the other way around is also valid...

    Seems that support is only buying some time...they also have no idea what is really going on or how to fix it. I’ve sent tech support over 150mb worth of log files and never heard back ...

    I have the same issue !!!   Has it been fixed????

    I'm now on 20.103.0521.0002 and it has not been fixed.

    What version are you on?  Microsoft asked me to try the production ring version--the non-insider preview version.  But I actually came from production months ago due to this problem.
