High CPU usage caused by Desktop Sync

High CPU usage caused by Desktop Sync

I have been using Zoho Docs Desktop Sync for a while on several computers without any problems but I recently installed it on a new laptop and although syncing works, the Zoho Docs application utilizes 30-45% of my processor consistently . I do not have this problem on any of my other computers

OS: Windows 8.1, 64-bit, fully patched/updated
Application version: Zoho Docs 1.4.4

My computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon. This is my second X1 Carbon. I returned my first X1 Carbon a few weeks after ordering it to upgrade the display and Zoho Docs Desktop Sync worked fine on it. When I received my second (current) X1 Carbon and installed Desktop Sync I immediately noticed the high cpu usage. The only difference between the two computers is the resolution of the display. Could that have anything to do with it?

      • Introducing True Syncing of Read-only Folders - Zoho Docs Sync

        Some files are to be read, others to be edited, and some few to be scrutinized and reviewed. The permissions you grant while you share a file decide the level of activity a user can do on your file.  If you have a set of files to be shared with your team and you don't want the contents to be changed in any way, then you can share the files in a read-only folder.​ But what happens when read-only folders are synced to desktops?                                                 Read-only folders synced

          The title just about sums it up. I have searched here and not found anything relevant, but If I overlooked, then please set me straight.  We have staff that do nothing but close tickets in desk all day long. These tickets represent their timesheet. Is there a way to have this information sync or for a tech to go into their timesheet themselves and sync it with their tickets of the same timeframe?? We waste a ton of time doing timesheets and the old "Clock in/Clock out" isnt detailed enough for us!!

          I am evaluating Zoho Creator.

We need multiple columns per line, and we need each line/section to occupy a single column or be able to span the columns.   Someone please tell me that I'm missing something and the capability is actually there.
