During one hour my odrive has been idle but set for automatic syncing. I’ve noticed that despite no activity of syncing there has been quite large bandwidth usage, around 80 MB uploads just for nothing. Why is that high upload usage happening when no files have actually been uploaded or synced?
Hi @mr108 ,
Can you send a diagnostic from the odrive tray menu and I can take a look to see if there is anything that sticks-out?
Hi Tony,
I just sent it now.
Hi @mr108,
It actually looks like files were being uploaded starting at 29 Oct 12:14:31AM until 29 Oct 12:25:54AM
If you take a look in the sync activity log you should be able to see this activity.
Thanks Tony,
Yes, these files add up to about 70 MB
I copied the various file sizes that are in that log:

I really would like to know how you were able to look into the sync activity log, which I didn’t submit to you and which is stored on my computer.
Please let me know.
Thanks.
Hi @mr108,
We added recent sync activity events to the submitted diagnostic payload in our 10-11 release.
By the way… can 80MB really be considered “large bandwith usage”? Maybe it was when I had a 56k connection, not really in 2021 
You are welcome to move to the mountains area in Northern India where you’ll have slow mobile internet connection that breaks often as well. When are you coming? 
Oh, and the electricity is breaking often as well. Are you ready? 
I see. But then, I can imagine you are having a hard time using cloud storage.
One file at a time, it’s slower but it works, I don’t have very big files.
The worst are these online installers of software that are big - some software developers think that the whole world is connected via broadband. I always have to find offline installers because I can pause and resume downloads easily. Just few years ago the broadband down in town here was much worse than today’s mobile connection so there is always some progress…
