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?
The 100.0.2.0 update has fixed the issue on my system as well. The reality though, is that I've moved most things off Google Drive and no longer need to run sync automatically now, so it likely won't be running by default anyway.
Two of my machines just auto-updated to Google Drive 100.0.2.0 by themselves, so Google is now rolling out the update to all machines by the look of it.
Thank goodness we can put that to bed now. Thank you all for the community support on this one.
PS - apologies to mod for the need to edit my last post, not sure where I went wrong (I didn't include any links).
Whenever I read that companies like Google employ thousands of developers I must wonder what they are doing?
Problem solved here as well after upgrading to 100.0.2.0 version!!!
I'm still on Version: 99.0.0.0. Is there a way to force an update, or do I have to download the package from Google's website again?
Downloaded from Google's website, but that's still version Version: 99.0.0.0. And apparently no way to check for updates within the app's settings.
@TiagoAraujo that worked to force an upgrade for me. Thank you!
