Same on Mojave 10.14.3. You guys burn ONE CORE the whole time. It's so frustrating using OneDrive by starting it once a day and then end it to use my Mac without fan and battery drainage. PLEASE FIX THIS.

I still have that problem. On my new MBP 2018 13, because of onedrive it takes 30min to get the battery from 100% to 80%. Fans are running on full speed and CPU usage over 100% by just that onedrive process. Is there a solution anyhow. I really want to use onedrive... but like this it is impossible.

Dear OneDrive,
In that past, there were files with a names you couldn't handle. You alerted me. I fixed it.
If there's a problem again you have to tell me, because we can't keep going on like this.
Your concerned friend,

So many CPU cycles spent, so little files sync'ed.
A seeming endless "OneDrive is updating files..." message, but my battery isn't endless.

I was facing this problem. CPU usage by OneDrive was very high resulting in high battery usage and Macbook getting heated up.
After checking the one drive I found, few files had sync issue because of special characters in the file name. I corrected them and now I find OneDrive CPU usage is normal and the heating issue is not appearing any more. Today morning i did this and currently things looks fine.
Not sure if this will solve all problems, but I got a good result with this exercise.

page after page of complaints yet not one message from One Drive / Microsoft to any of their customers rightly complaining.
I'm giving them a couple of days to at least respond or I'm off! I'm not paying for a service like this. What are the alternatives out there?
Sorry to sound dumb, but if I uninstall this app off my iMac I take it that my files won't sync anymore? In other words, if I worked on a file on my iPad Pro downstairs and saved to OneDrive and then came upstairs to use my iMac, will it not sync that newer file if I don't have their app from the Mac App Store on the iMac? -

Massive battery drain when using OneDrive. It will drain the battery from 100% in under an hour. The fan runs constantly and the macbook gets hot. When I quit OneDrive, everything settles down to normal.
OneDrive has become unusable. -

Please look into this issue and resolve it. It looks like you're willfully ignoring a bug that's specific to Mac users. Don't be an ******* and fix your product!!!

Why so much CPU???? Running the latest version with files on demand on the latest Mac OS. Why is Microsoft not looking into this?

I can confirm that restarting ONEDrive did the trick for me. It went from 100% and above CPU usage even when just sitting on the dock to 0% when not syncing.
Thanks. -

If I don't restart OneDrive after boot, my battery will only last half a day. With a restart it will last twice as long.
