I've seen a couple of hacks, like here, but I've decided to simply keep my projects on OneDrive without the node_modules. The folder and its contents will still be available online. I've tried to use a similar solution Dropbox has, but then the local node_modules is being deleted, as stated here: If you uncheck a folder you are syncing to your computer, the folder will be removed from your computer. It's also in the official help docs, as stated here: Once ignored, the file or folder remains where it is in your Dropbox folder on your computer’s hard drive, but it’s deleted from the Dropbox server and your other devices, can’t be accessed on, and won’t sync to your Dropbox account. I've found a nice solution regarding Dropbox to ignore this file, but it doesn't work on OneDrive. The article provides the same information.

Additionally, the same performance issues can occur if you have 300,000 items or more across all libraries you are syncing, even if you are not syncing all items in those libraries.' Although SharePoint Online can store 30 million documents per library, for optimum performance we recommend syncing no more than 300,000 files across all document libraries. Please don't do it :)Īs stated here: 'For optimum performance, we recommend storing no more than 300,000 files in a single OneDrive or team site library. Sadly, once the problems araised I've kept the setup for several months causing my battery to. It was a bit strange for me, because for a looong time never had such a problem, even with node_modules in the OneDrive.

Once my OneDrive had completed a very long sync, the computer cooled down, the fan has been almost entirely off, and my Mac has been cool and silent ever since.Ĭontacted the Microsoft Premier Support and the reason OneDrive has problems on Mac (and I guess not only) in my case was a higher amount of files than 300k. I figured that since my documents are in the cloud anyway, I could simply take screenshots of Launchpad to show all the apps I have installed, do a total reinstall of the OS ( ), and reinstall all the apps one-by-one. In my never-ending saga, I have now solved the problem for several months by a complete reinstall of everything. 2 days ago, I tried doing a huge factory reset and reinstalling all the main programs from the Internet.

But my MacBook Pro 2019 just gets very hot very quickly - actually hot to the touch above the Touch Bar (not warm, definitely hot). I'm actually not sure that it is ONLY OneDrive's fault, although it does go into overdrive and heat my Mac up. (Still only a partial solution - why can't MS fix this?)Īctually, it didn't work for me. I've already tried it and it seems to work in turning down my fan. Being able to quit disnoted will be much better. I've always been quitting OneDrive and only opening it as needed, which is a pain in the ass. There is an article defining distnoted here:īRILLIANT THANKS. After a few seconds, there is an immediate change in the fan speed and cpu consumption.

Group, my research found that the high cpu was directly a result of a process called 'distnoted.' The approach I follow now is when I experience high cpu, I open activity monitor (cpu tab), sort on cpu %, find the distnoted process demanding high cpu, double-click on it and then quit the process.
