    Hi guys, I have a helpful reply!

    Due to orders from a particular organization, we are doing something to your files and metadata associated with them to stay in compliance.

    Please do not worry, this is for your safety and covered under the most recent EULA to which you agreed (including compliance on this discussion forum.)

    Same problem. Looks like it's been 3 months with no solution or even acknowledgement from Microsoft. Time to finally seek a different service.

    I disagree, this sounds exactly like the original post.

    I have the same issue. I have 40k processing changes on 3 devices, and it's painfully slow. It seems to be blocking any genuine file synchronisation from taking place until it's completed (I hope)! Why is this happening?
