I suggest you never, ever try to force download a folder, whenever you need a file it will automatically download it for you, but force downloading it may screw things up again, I advise for the moment to leave as is. That's it, your system should now be working smoothly without fileprovider canibalizing the CPU. Make sure System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud > Optimize Mac Storage remains unchecked. Verify that everything is working smooth and no process is out of control in Activity Monitor.app and go to System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and re-check iCloud Drive, wait for it to enable itself properly. (optional) With the command line, remove the iCloud Drive (archive) folder in your home /Users/ with the command: sudo rm -rf /Users//iCloud\ Drive\ \(archive\), you can also move it someplace else to safe keep it with the mv command. Then, go to /Users//Library/Caches and /Library/Caches and /System/Library/Caches and delete everything in them (don't worry it's just system and application caches). Go to /Users//Library/Application Support (this directory is hidden, but you can access it with Finder > Go > Go to folder, after typing the start of each path you can type tab to autocomplete) in it you delete FileProvider folder. Now when you no longer have iCloud Drive active, we are going to clear some caches, but before everything again in Activity Monitor.app force quit fileproviderd, iCloudDrive, and cloudd. Still in System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and uncheck iCloud Drive, keep a local copy or not (I chose not), normally it was already synced before then there is a copy of your data in the cloud so no worries. Go to System Preferences > Apple id > iCloud and uncheck Optimize Mac Storage. In Activity Monitor.app, sort processes by CPU usage, choose fileproviderd, iCloudDrive, and cloudd and force quit them. I'd appreciate any help regarding information around the best docks/dongles for the situation, else I'm afraid I might unfortunately have to trade the Macbook Pro in for another Windows PC.I'm on macOS catalina beta (build number 19A512f), here's a shotgun approach to fixing this problem, at least temporarily. Work has offered me to order whatever is necessary in regards to docks/accessories (within reason) and pay for those, but I just need to find a working solution with the limitations that exist with what I'm seeing of the M2. I'm unable to work out if there's any suitable dock option/configuration that can couple both DisplayLink and MST to get these up and running, but haven't been able to make heads of it. The current MST configuration was the only one that works with the current PCs. The tower also only has for outputs: 2x DVI-D, 1x Display Port. I am able to just swap between the two setups via the input selector Due to the monitors being a bit older they only support 1x Display Port and 1x Mini Display Port input on each ( 1 Mini DP 1.2 Output for MST/Daisy Chaining), so no option for Thunderbolt or USB-C connections into the monitors. These are connected to two 1080p displays via a Display Port 1.2 MST daisy chain for both systems. My existing setup is currently a personal tower, and a Windows Laptop. I need to work out how to integrate the laptop into my home work/personal setup. I'm currently in a predicament, my company has sent me a new Macbook Pro 13" 2023 M2 laptop, which is great however I'm a little stuck and need some help.
