If I invoke ls or anything else that does stat inside OneDrive folder it will trigger download of all files.
OneDrive uses placeholder files[1] to represent remote files. I'm guessing reading file content in stat is to support detection of actually executable files as in here[2]? I think this should be disabled on non-hydrated placeholder files. Running `find` or 'ls -R` and having your entire OneDrive downloaded is extremely problematic. I could live without executable scripts in the OneDrive folder and it's easy to mark files as always offline to solve it. Another idea is to skip checking files with extensions known to be non-executable such as jpg (or just any extensions that is not known to be executable).
