This behaviour appeared for me first time after upgrade to Ubuntu 17.04. Several versions before (all from 14.04) there had no such problem. And now after some idle time I can see constant network load (down ~300 kB/s, up ~450 kB/s, see screenshot in attachemenet).
Unmounting helps (but sometimes umount hangs for several minutes before unmounting)
