(OS X) Dropbox consuming a lot of CPU whenever any file or folder is changed anywhere
On my OS X 10.9.5 system I'm seeing Dropbox consume CPU whenever anything on the file system changes, regardless of whether the changed files or folders are in the Dropbox synced folders. The CPU usa...
I have a 2015 MacBook Pro with a 2.8GHZ processor that turbo boosts to 4.0GHZ, 500GB of flash storage and 16GB of RAM.
The DROPBOX CLIENT IS CRUSHING MY MACHINE!!!!
150% of my CPU? That is obscene. That should never come to be. I am a software developer and know this is poor coding. You should be using a queuing structure or more manageable work units.
I am currently a paying client of Dropbox and syncing is a critical part of cloud storage. There are too many competitors in the market for this to be even remotely acceptable.
Same here and they have had over a year to fix it. Issue is still present on my new MacBook Pro.
My New Macbook Pro's fans are so loud when Dropbox is syncing and my CPU is bouncing between 100% and 150%. The minute I pause the syncing process everything goes back to normal. Fans drop and CPU goes back to normal! This is nuts. I don't have anywhere near 30,000 files. Dropbox are you fixing this issue or will I be forced to cancel my pro account and warn my friends about this isseue! Google Drive is sounding very tempting right now.
This is a concerning thread. Just switched from PC to mac and I have never seen the CPU run so high before. Ditto to previous thread... google drive is looking more appealing than my dropbox pro account if this issue cannot be resolved.
