Problems with OneDrive Syncing
The OneDrive Files On-Demand feature allows you to access all files in your OneDrive account without having to download documents, pictures and other files to your PC. The feature is useful if you have tens of GBs of files in your OneDrive account, but you don’t want to download all of them on to your PC to avoid filling up your local drive.

What if there are all green check marks on PC but it's not updating the online account? This has been a problem for several months without me realizing it. I unlinked from my PC and relinked, then resync'd and it shows 875 files having needing to be uploaded due to the "unrealized" period of time that they sync wasn't working. Again, my PC files are present (874 new onles), I have a few Online new files that are present (unknown, but I use this app less than online) - the sync goes through with green check marks on the PC, the sync on the cloud icon shows completed, but still files are missing online - even when I go to "online" from the PC One Drive folder.
