In Windows 10 RS3 or later, Kaspersky Small Office Security does not scan files in OneDrive cloud storage. If the application detects such files during a scan, it shows a notification stating that the files in cloud storage were not scanned.

The following components do not scan files in OneDrive cloud storage:

  • Full Scan
  • Selective Scan
  • Quick Scan
  • Background Scan

The report on the operation of Kaspersky Small Office Security contains a list of files in OneDrive cloud storage that were skipped during scan.

Files downloaded from OneDrive cloud storage to a local computer are scanned by real-time protection components. If a file scan was postponed and the file has been uploaded back to OneDrive cloud storage before the scan is started, this file may be skipped during a scan by File Anti-Virus and System Watcher.

When Application Control and System Watcher classify applications, Kaspersky Small Office Security downloads applications from OneDrive cloud storage to the local computer using operating system tools.
