Premiere Pro downloading all my One Drive videos

Qiite often, when I begin a Premire Pro project, it will automatically trigger  ALL my One Drive video files to automatically download off the cloud. Not just the ones I am importing, but all of them. ANd I don't have to be importing a file for it to happen, it just seems to happen. 

I haven't been able to find a solution anywhere.

    PPro's querying of the files in a given media directory, will in many cases provoke cloud sync utilities to download the actual file.

    can I stop PPro from scanning them? Doesn't happen in any other program.

      That suggests that OneDrive is downloading them, based on PPro scanning that directory for import-able files.

      PPro has no influence over OneDrive's response to that directory access, and there's no way to prevent PPro from trying.

      Yeah, we looked at all that. the only time it does it is Ppro. Not Ai, ID etc, or any other program. All I do is drag some content in from One Drive for a specific project, and as soon as I do that, One Drive starts dowloading all of me vids I have ever worked in PPro with.  I am wondering whether it has something to do with the Local and Home Import folder on Ppro, which I never used, but see,s to be linked to all my One Drive stuff. There seems to be no way to unlink it

        PPro has no direct integration with OneDrive, and is not triggering any OneDrive behaviors that don't also apply to your whole system. 

        PPro scans the paths of media in a project, and will scan the project's path for media; perhaps you have OneDrive configured in such a way, that such scanning provokes download?
