connected to #9507?

Turn off what option?

Oh word. This is why I had that issue. I had 400gb that was trying to redownload and I had no clue why it was doing so. This needs to be fixed!

[Silther]

Maybe it's because of #9507 and it thinks that it only includes the folders that have already been downloaded, but because of the wrong status, these are the online folders that are downloaded first.

And until #10001 is solved for cloud storage, I would disable the size calculation for all folders that contain cloud files. The current implementation causes to many problems..

Your theory was correct! This issue should be fixed in the next update.

Correction, we might release a couple of small updates before this fix is included as it still needs some fine tuning.
