It will sync assuming decent bandwidth and local device performance, but it won't necessarily be a quick or pleasant experience!
If you can, take advantage of either

Avoid local sync if total amount of object at destination is more de 300 000 (see problem even with 100 000). You will have issue and sync never end even if you sync 1 folder with 1 item and the source library have 300k items. Files could take hours to be sync up to the cloud and this will result in lots of frustration.
If you regarding moving network drive to cloud and sync everything locally (even on demand) you will failed.
A approach will be having library with « active content » (no more then 100k object) that is sync locally and other library for archiving and those should not be synch.
Here is a thread with lots of information regarding this issues that has never been fixed yet by Microsoft. Would recommend to continue exchange in that previous thread.
