Don’t sync the “Documents” folder!!!
Update for version 17.3.6389.0415:
This update has a regression: now if you click the status icon on the upper-right corner, it takes several minutes to respond!
FINALLY I fixed the problem of persistent “Processing changes”! Just exclude the “Documents” folder for syncing.
The problem is related to OneNote. Microsoft stores the OneNote file in your “Documents” folder (use a Web browser to visit OneDrive and confirm this). However, OneDrive for Mac stores the OneNote file as a .url file on Mac’s file system. Obviously there is a bug in OneDrive which keeps thinking the .url file is changed and needs to “Process changes” while actually there is nothing to be done.
If you have anything in “Documents” folder, move them to another folder. Exclude the “Documents” folder in OneDrive, and now enjoy OneDrive :-)
