      The icon of onedrive is at this moment sync icon continuously, also when there is nothing to sync.
      This icon should be a cloud icon when there is nothing to sync.
      OneDrive is still working because when put something new in a folder it will also sync to the cloud.
      Maybe OneDrive is stuck with some documents, but OneDrive is not showing any message of that.

        I face the same problem. I have two Windows devices, synchronising ALL Files to Device1 and only certain Files to Device2. In total I use 4 Folders (with many many subfolders). The biggest Folder contains 975 GBs of data. The smallest 943 MB.

         

        On the Device 1 (syncing all files) the "sync-smybol" always runs. And it says "changes are searched/looking for changes" (Änderungen werden gesucht). The main problem is, that new files or folder-renaming does not sync online anymore... :-/ and even if it try 'watch online', it says; "coulnd create the link"
