If the files are download as local, then there must be an app or service that is attempting to access the files.
Do you go into an app and then navigate to an online-only folder within that app to open a file?
nope...

Hey again, exx.
Can you let me know what’s the current syncing status of your desktop app? If it’s not up to date, but still syncing, I’d like you to let it finish syncing first, and then try to make some of your files online-only once more, as a test.
Does the setting work now or does the app download your files again automatically?
