There have been other problems reported for OneDrive (e.g. [Windows: Unable to import DICOM files that are in a OneDrive-backed up folder](https://discourse.slicer.org/t/windows-unable-to-import-dicom-files-that-are-in-a-onedrive-backed-up-folder/36153)). Best to use a local drive and if needed copy to OneDrive with the OS.
