I agree with Diego2410, just wanted to confirm this in 2026. I was working with 13000 files. Eventually all files were sync'ed, but it took a couple hours.

Then there are a bunch of suggestions including reinstalling OneDrive.
Don't reinstall the OneDrive app. Don't reboot. Either use OneDrive or don't, but if you use it, you'll just have to wait it out.
