We did a test on Mojave with a OneDrive account that contains 20GB files, after signing in OneDrive on that Mac, the total available storage didn't change, although it displays 20GB when we navigate to Manage storage page, as we discussed before, it's anĪnyway, to help determine the cause of the problem, I suggest you select and right-click the OneDrive client folder->Free up space. Files in OneDrive are 172GB, more than 121GB(the total capacity of Macintosh HD), so I think those files on-demand are not likely to take up local storage.

However, given the situation, you could also click the OneDrive icon on the upper-right corner and click more, then click Those files->info, it will show 0 bytes on disk, so we don't need to worry that the storage is being exceeded. It most likely counts 172.298.589.945 bytes(172GB) into the whole storage, but if you right-click I think it is an identification issue between Mac Storage calculation and Files On-Demand. We have tested on Catalina, and the result matches your description. In OneDrive have the first status(Online-only), right? To confirm, you have enabled Files On-Demand feature and most of the files
