Sophos EAP 10.0.2 is not compatible with Google Drive File Stream on Big Sur. Mac CPU go spike and the computer hang when both Sophos and Google File Stream is running.
Has anyone reviewed Phillip's comment below and able to confirm this is the case for other devices? Can we have second-party confirmation of this?
We've found an issue in Apple's API that causes these conflicts. We're working on testing out the specific incompatibilities.
Thanks for the quick response, Richard. We currently heavily use Google Drive and I'd like to know that this specific incompatibility is resolved before we deploy Sophos Endpoint Protection to any Apple devices running OS 11, even in the EAP.
The issue is with Apple's API - so we have to wait for Apple to fix it. I don't have a timeline for that.
Alright, thanks for clarifying. I appreciate your responses.
Have you discussed this with Apple and are able to provide a timeline from Apple? As of right now, suspending scanning of files is the only way to make this work. Also I'd like to know what part of Apple's api is causing this.
I am discussing this further with our development department - confirming where the issue actually is and what can be done about it. I will keep you advised.
Can you please test by disabling the CryptoGuard feature in the policy and advise if the behavior changes.
This is being tested today 01/25.
