icloud Drive for Windows no automatic download

Hi there!

So as the title already suggests, i'm interested in knowing if iCloud Drive for Windows (version 7.0 - the newest) works the same way as on macOS. There the files will be not be downloaded automaticly but kept online for the most part. The reason I like to know this is that my windows partition in pretty small and therefor keeping them online is necessary on windows.

Thank you. Like to hear from somebody who runs this version.
