How to open or display in a browser tab a web archive saved in OneDrive.

I can save the web archive (folder with index and all associated files.. images, linked pages etc) to my desktop and click on the index.html file and the browser happily displays it.. all formatting, images, links to other pages all work fine. If I move this same folder to OneDrive it only lets me view and edit the files as text 🤷🏾‍:male_sign:

Is there a way to get oneDrive to display the html files, or it there another tool I should be using. Note: I have a hundreds of these that would be perfect to access from oneDrive list.. give links to others to view elsewhere in Sharepoint etc.. but oneDrive will not display them..

    The relative path names are different when you use a browser view. You may need to convert your html forests to mht or docx

    Looks like it's just not allowed on our distribution and apparently not recommend use of OneDrive by MS.
