That's ... tricksy, that is.
On my "new" system that's a couple years old now, on initial setup OneDrive had full control of all "User" files folders ... Documents, Library, all of them. And Premiere couldn't change anything after the initial install of the program.
So I couldn't download sync my prefs, keyboard shorts, or set the Prefs how I wanted. It took three long days, dealing ONLY with this, no editing! ... to FINALLY get OneDrive completely and utterly and totally destroyed and removed from my system.
Some people manage to work with Premiere with that horrible crud installed. I couldn't. And for many, there are constant problems with files unlinking or losing prefs and such.
OneDrive and WeTransfer and DropBox linked folders all routinely check files for changes. They normally 'tag' the file headers to track what they've done. Premiere and other apps oft then see changes in the file header, and believe that the file there is NOT the file they were linked to.
As those apps were designed to work with document file types, not video applications. And because of that, can be problematic. Though again some manage it somehow.
My partner in Cape Town SA and my wife and I in Oregon use LucidLink's amazing tranfer service to access joint media on Amazon S3 servers in London.
LucidLink ain't free, but ... it's magical. But then, it was designed to move video files in the way that video applications need to access them. It sets up a phantom "local drive" that your system (both Macs and PCs) sees as simply an internal drive.
Our partner calls on WhatsApp, that he's uploading a folder of media from Cape Town on his Mac. Within seconds, I'll see the folder appear in my Explorer window on my Pc. A second or so later, individual files start appearing.
I can go into Premiere at that point, and import the files ... which haven't even finished uploaded from Cape Town to London yet!
Even put them on sequences. We're ... charmed, shall we say?
Backing up & sharing video files still hath dragons involved. You have to sort out what you can get working on your setup.
