Macos Nextcloud client constantly writing data to hard drive with increased cpu load

[paulek666]

hi community,
i have just noticed that my nc client is constantly writing data to my hard drive. right now it’s >660Gb since last reboot 4 days ago.
this seems a lot since there are just 18gb of data in the nc-folder. and all data is synced and not much has been added to the folder recently
this constant writing of data leads to battery drain as my machine is a laptop.
my system ist macos 10.14.6 and nc client is 2.6.1

why is this happening?

So I’m not alone.

macOS app with increased cpu load permanently writes data to the hard disk

Version 2.6.1, macOS 10.14.6 and 10.15.1 The Nextcloud app always has between 2 and 5% CPU load and writes about 1GB of data per minute to the hard disk of the computer. Where the data are written, I can not recognize. Nothing has to be synchronized, all data are up-to-date. If I stop the synchronization, the CPU load drops to 0.1% and no further data is written. The problem occurs on two machines that synchronize with different (webhosted) Nextcloud installations. I have already reinstalle…

right!
nextcloud is using 1,6gb of memory and nothing is syncing

downgrade to 2.6.0stable solves the problem. but not real solution, 2.6…1 should work properly, too

Apparently, there are several issues with the current NC 2.6.1 desktop App on Mac OS X / macOS.

Please consider to use the bucket list to get some awareness. What do you think?

Happy hacking.

Downgrade was helpful. Thanks
