Encrypt Local OneDrive Files, but not in the Cloud
OneDrive files are https://blogs.office.com/2015/01/30/data-encryption-works-onedrive-business-sharepoint-online/ where they are stored in the cloud 'at rest' and in-transit, I'm not sure if that's what you are referring to. I don't think encrypting the files in addition to that in the cloud is a thing people do*.
This is completely transparent and non-configurable. As has already been mentioned BitLocker would be the obvious candidate. Otherwise, there are lots of different solutions on the market that you might have to evaluate.
*To add, there is Azure Information Protection that can go further with document level encryption via Azure RMS by the way.
so that it is. If you encrypt your local files and sync it to the cloud, they are also encrypted, you do not have any colaboration with others... Office Online will not work.
The ability for IRM is there, but unfortunatelly the Next Generation Sync client is not able to sync these IRM protected files (now). Microsoft is working on it.
I recommand, using Bitlocker for all users machines, and restrict sync to "only companys devices" unless IRM is working with sync.
