I would like to use the OneDrive node to automatically synchronize something locally from the computer to a OneDrive folder. For the options, I set access via drive but I'm not sure about the configuration and I get the message that it can't find a file even though in the debug there is a file in the msg.payload.

I don't know about that node, but have you specified the full path to the folder? Also is node-red installed with Docker or Home Assistant or similar?

Don't use a specialist node for that, you should have the OneDrive folder mounted in your OS filing system. As such, you can simply use Node-RED's file handling nodes.

This will be more robust since you can let the OS handle any synchronisation.

Should be possible since there is a Linux filing system driver for OneDrive. I don't know that device specifically though.
