OneDrive sync pauses for extended period time - version 22.055, 22.060 and 22.065 - M1 Mac
We are seeing significant pauses for downloading large amounts of data using OneDrive versions 22.055, 22.060 and 22.065 on Apple Silicon macs running Mac OS 12.3.1. OneDrive seems to be able to do...
I have run the comparison using the same data, but on an Intel-based computer (2018 MacBook Pro 15" i7- 16GB.
MacOS 12.3.1
OneDrive version 22.055.0313.0001 (Standalone)
I first clicked "Download all OneDrive files now," and all folders and files downloaded as expected without any pauses or stalls.
I then synced a SharePoint folder, right-clicked on the folder, and chose "Always Keep on This Device." It immediately began downloading the folders and files to my computer (~14GB). Completed without issue.
All of my users who have had sync issues after this update have been using M1's, so it's highly likely that there is a bug when using the M1 architecture.

Hi jsturgis ,
I had similar issue but after I switched to OneDrive for M1 Apple Silicon, I do not experience it anymore. Make sure your OneDrive is Apple kind (M1 native, not Intel), and check it out. I would recommend even enrolling into Insider preview. it seems to be very stable.
I even wrote a blog about about this - I hope it helps. Check it out here.
