I am backing up some files to Onedrive using kopia with rclone repository. And I’ve found that the repo size on Onedrives side balloons really quickly, a folder of 600G locally is about 2T on the repo.
This is the initial snapshot with compression off
Can you do
kopia blob stat
kopia content stats
kopia blob ls
And paste results on some paste service and put the link here.
Since those commands are taking a long time, I might as well add that I tried adding the arguments --vfs-cache-mode=writes as extra args to rclone as recommended for onedrive and this new repo is now undersized compared to source by 10%ish, I think this is due to kopia killing the rclone process while the files in cache are still not completely sync. I think it might be required to use the remote control api to query the status and wait for it to finish before killing rclone.
Also the oversized repo does not list any snapshots despite running the snapshot successfully initially
I have a very similar issue with Azure Storage Explorer reporting 10.4GB and Kopia itself more or less confirming the figure via the commands listed earlier on this post.
However Windows Explorer reports 2.46GB for the target folders (actually a little less due to .kopiaignore).
Typically we only add new content, with the notable exception of SQL Server backups, unsure how the dedupe mechanism works in this regard.
Guidance on how to reduce would be very much appreciated.

I have the same problem with pgzip compression enabled:
local size 40GB
OneDrive size 80GB
This is after the initial backup and later didn’t change.

This is a known issue with the latest release of Kopia and has already been fixed (see fix(cli): fixed snapshot sizes in the snapshot list by jkowalski · Pull Request #2148 · kopia/kopia · GitHub). However, an updated Kopia has not been released yet with the fix. If this is important for you and you cannot wait, the latest test build has it: Releases · kopia/kopia-test-builds · GitHub
