That is a good point. However, when I am working on my thesis or even a piece of code that resides on OneDrive folder, I usually pause sync for at least 24 hours. This is because OneDrive will often lock files or otherwise interrupt running/saving code so that it can do continuous sync, like frequently ramping the CPU usage up to 100%, send the fan on frenzy or cause other distractions. And a lot can go wrong in that 24 hours, or even 8 hours which is the lowest setting.
