I'm downloading about 2,500 pictures and videos from my Onedrive to my HDD. When I looked in Windows Explorer/Properties, the size of all the files came to about 75GB (ignoring size on disk as they are all in the cloud). When I started to copy them, the "Items Remaining" info in the copy box started at about 133GB.What accounts for this discrepancy and is the system actually downloading 133GB or 75GB?
