fileproviderd is using up 300% system resources on 10.15 beta

I see fileproviderd is using up 300% system resources on 10.15 beta and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. Fan is wining away on my MacBook pro and the battery drains in a few hours.

Solution 1:

This bug is caused by iCloud-Drive. If you go to settings and disable iCloud-Drive, fileproviderd should stop using up the system resources. Hopefully iCloud-Drive will work as expected in the next beta.

Solution 2:

As a very temporary fix you can kill the fileproviderd process. If you don't know how to do that you really shouldn't be running a developer preview release.

ps -ax | grep fileproviderd

then kill -9 the process id.
