You should be aware of the risks of using OneDrive.
It has bugs which will once in a blue moon overwrite your local changes with older versions from the cloud.
I’ve run into this once, lost a week of engineering R&D. I don’t have the links handy describing the bugs.
Only use OneDrive if you have a separate reliable backup.
