After upgrading my M1 iMac to Sequoia yesterday, I've been noticing that the CPU usage for Google Drive is constantly high (25 to 45%). Since none of the Google Drive folders are downloaded, this CPU usage in the past has always been very low--so low as to be almost unnoticeable.
There are a few posts on Reddit about this same issue.
iMac 24″, macOS 15.0
I noticed the same thing on a 13'' M2 MBP running Sequoia. Whenever I connect my external monitor the CPU usage of Google Drive goes up to 40-50%. It drops to almost 0% when I disconnect the drive. This happens consistently and must be at least part of the problem. Maybe Google Drive thinks the monitor is an external disk that it tries to scan?
On my Macbook Pro M3, I only see the problem if I have two or more displays active. If I unplug my external display, the problem goes away. If I plug in my external display and close the lid on the laptop (leaving only the external display active), the problem also goes away.
Can confirm. Mac mini M4. Google Drive at like 35 - 50%. Unplug external USB monitor (usb-c to hdmi), drops to almost 0%.
It seems that version 100 finally fixes this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MacOS/comments/1getq07/comment/lx5712u/
