Why would it do that more than once unless you are modifying 4TB of data every day, in which case you are causing the problem.

I don't know how your client works, but reading metadata (e.g. requesting size) off any file causes some cloud clients to download it completely.

Of course I'm not modifying 4TB on a cloud drive, every day.

Can you name such a client? That sounds like a terrible experience.
