Why does the File app auto download files to your phone from your iCloud (when just going through folders) and can you turn that off

Seems that when I just brows folders on my iCloud Drive in files it just starts to auto download the files in that location. I need to turn that off. I have a couple hundred gigs of stuff backed up and I really don’t want it all on my phone. Thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 11.0.1
