I actually hope this is a problem, or user error on my part, because I don't think I can use it if this is by design. I have a large amount of files - many big - associated with my work Onedrive account. I have Onedrive set to only pull them down when I open them, except for a few select directories I always need offline. I understood that Copernic was using an API to index online files and that that's what I'm paying for in the extension, as if it can only index local files then the ones I need local are already there so why would I need the Onedrive extension? Anyway, I'm hoping someone here can shed light on this for me, because I can't have Copernic downloading several hundred GB of files for no reason.

It must have been a change on Microsoft's side because it didn't act that way 4-5 years ago. Unfortunate, because this can be a massive amount of downloads just to ensure you have everthing indexed, which means in most situations I end up leveraging O365 search for my cloud items.

Luc from Technical Support responded privately via our messaging system. I have included his response below for others with the same question:
It is "as design" in OneDrive. Unfortunately there is no way to detect if the files are in online mode or not in OneDrive.
If your OneDrive is configured to download only on access to files, I suggest to index its content using the Copernic OneDrive extension instead of indexing directly its synchronized folder on the hard drive. This way the files won't stay on his hard drive after indexing.
Luc du support technique a répondu en privé via notre système de messagerie. J'ai inclus sa réponse ci-dessous pour les autres personnes qui se posent la même question :
C'est « tel que conçu » dans OneDrive. Malheureusement, il n'y a aucun moyen de détecter si les fichiers sont en mode en ligne ou non dans OneDrive.
Si votre OneDrive est configuré pour ne télécharger que lors de l'accès aux fichiers, je vous suggère d'indexer son contenu à l'aide de l'extension Copernic OneDrive au lieu d'indexer directement son dossier synchronisé sur le disque dur. De cette façon, les fichiers ne resteront pas sur le disque dur après l'indexation.

I'm having the same problem. It seems to have started with Version 8. Prior to this, OneDrive indexing worked perfectly. It looks like Version 8 wants the files on the local computer to index them, which defeats the entire object of having Outlook.
The only answer is to go back to the previous version until Copernic sorts this out.

Agreed--- I started seeing downloads from directories & files that were marked 'cloud only'.
