This project has not stopped yet, and it has a wonderful GUI. It creates a sync relationship between a OneDrive folder and a local folder. And this tool may be suitable for you.It can create symlinks or junctions and trigger OneDrive to sync, including those folders on a timer you set. If you just want to use OneDrive client, maybe you can try this tool.If they did, they would either a) make 'out of folder' synchronisation possible or b) allow symlinks/junctions to be used (as they used to work!) If you want to backup data from other locations, sorry, but MS dont want you to. The only valid way to work with OneDrive is to copy the files into the OneDrive folder. Maybe MS just doesn't care about that thing as MS has introduced OneDrive REST API to Storr wrote:
So it is seemingly syncing for everything. The OneDrive client maybe check for changes after certain minutes. If you use symlinks or junctions, the OneDrive client cannot get to hear about changes promptly.

Because Windows doesn't propagate file system events to both ends of the symlink, just the original end. If they did, they would either a) make 'out of folder' synchronisation possible or b) allow symlinks/junctions to be used (as they used to Storr wrote: It used to work with no issues at all, but instead of MS being up-front and obvious with a statement to say symlinks/junctions are not supported (and show this in the sync log), they've behind the scenes broken it so now we are left with files in disparate locations that we're just not sure are being synced any longer. It seems MS have half-hardheartedly removed this very useful and glaring missing functionality from the OneDrive application. The only way to force a sync is to pause/un-pause the application, but the status indicators wont change so you still wont know if something has/has not been synced without checking it. Although you can make junction or symlinks between folders, OneDrive will not automatically sync them and the files/folders status indicator will (most of the time) stay in the 'to be synced' state, giving you the impression that its not been uploaded/synced when in reality it has.
I'm posting this here in case anyone else stumbles upon this answer and thinks symlinks/junctions is the solution.
