Google Drive OSX application is very heavy on the CPU

5 pointsinglondon13y ago2 comments

When running the Google Drive OSX application the CPU goes into overdrive while syncing my local files to the Google servers and pushes the CPU temperature to around 100° Celsius. The temperature is measured with iStats which I have heard is not always reliable but the laptop becomes noticeably hot and the fans kick in. Is anyone else experiencing the same issues?

Yes, Google Drive for Mac is poorly written. It is taking 2-4% CPU just idling - even when paused. I won't be using it until they get this fixed. http://johnmarshall4.tumblr.com/post/21864353801/gdrive-suck...
