    Windows Search Indexer and OneDrive


    Before I do something I regret, does Indexing the OneDrive folder start downloading all the files it has indexed?

    I have about 700GB of files up there that are set to online-only and don't really fancy kicking off a download of these things.

      Next for the troubleshooting to begin.

      Startup type to Automatic.
