iCloud Drive uploading everything... again
Hey there,
Since I've installed the macOS 12.5 update, my 2021 M1 MBP started running weird: 5 minutes to show the menu bar after a restart, crashes when it runs for a long time...
Yesterday, I realized that iCloud Drive was reuploading... everything from my document folder... I noticed it when it had still 750k files to upload...
24h later, there are still 630k files to upload. While it's doing this crazy upload, I can't work on anything, as I can't even copy a file locally (it gets stuck). My MBP isn't up to date with the latest changes I made on my other Mac.
I have to restart the bird service every 1-2h or the whole upload gets stuck and doesn't progress anymore...
How can I speed up this upload or cancel it, and what could be the reason for this massive reupload?
During the time I wrote this post, it only uploaded 500 files or less.
PS: I've seen other reports for this problem, here or and reddit, but there was absolutely no solution. I tried to turn off and on iCloud Drive, but it just started the upload again from where it stopped. I tried restarting my MBP multiple times, tried to let it awake for the night... Nothing works.
PS2: My MBP is always connected to internet when I use it, whether it's at work, at home or using network sharing on the move. At the moment, it's connected on a 300Mbps download / 200 Mbps upload network
