Zero-byte .indd files

I've seen some similar posts, here and elsewhere, but never one quite like this. 

My colleagues and I exchange files, including InDesign files, via a Microsoft OneDrive file server. We also use OneDrive loaded on our machines, for security. 

Often when I download an InDesign file from the server and attempt to open it locally, nothing happens--no message or anything; the file simply doesn't open. Then I notice that the File-Open window indicates Zero Bytes. 

When I view the same file in the finder, it indicates a reasonable size--30-something MB. 

But it still won't open--and again, when I look at it through the File-Open window in InDesign, it shows Zero Bytes. 

This doesn't happen with any other program--just InDesign. Of course it is a major time-sink. 

I've seen reports of similar problems with Google Drive, but there is no Google Drive in our workflow. 

I have tried closing InDesign and reopening, then trying to open the file again. Doesn't help. 

Sometimes I can then download the filea gain from the server, and then it will open. Not always. But that's the fix, such as it is: Keep downloading the file until finally it works. Pretty inefficient. 

A fix would be very much appreciated.
