Why does Insync suck so bad?

#1

I don’t quite understand why Insync is so horrible, every time I reboot my computer it needs to run at about 90% CPU for around 4 hours, and at random every few hours I find it at 70 - 90%. This seems to be the case on OSX and Windows, what gives? Is there some way to make this product less crap?

Thanks for your help

Hi @xmichael911,

I understand your frustration on how Insync is behaving on your setup. We’ve had users experience a spike in CPU usage for different reasons. We need to collect more information to determine the cause of this issue.

  • Do you notice this issue when running other apps in particular (like syncing apps, anti-virus scanners, file managers)?
  • Is memory usage also high?
  • Do any of your actions (interacting with the UI, etc.) appear to trigger it?
  • Does this happen even when no sync is ongoing?
