WIndows 11, Onedrive with lots of space let on my account (680Gb used of my 1TB).
Onedrive is working to download from the "cloud" to my PC (if I upload something from my phone it syncs with my PC no issues).
If I create a folder or file on my PC then it doesnt sync to the cloud / show on my phone/ show on the onedrive web browser files. I have a constant blue pair of arrows in explorer for the changes but they never go away - even a 2kb txt file sits for months with no sync happening. If I log into the website I can drag and drop and the upload happens instantly so I know its not my web connection, it is not the files/file names etc- it is the PC onedrive client not syncing.
I have tried exiting and restarting onedrive. I have tried moving onedrive folder locations and then moving back to my current location.
Pause syncing on metered network is off (not on a metered network but why not right).
In account "choose folders" I have checked all the folders are ticked which they are. I am running Build 25.010.0119.0002(64bit) which I believe to be the latest.
I have tried: wsreset.exe & "C:\Program Files\Microsoft OneDrive\onedrive.exe /reset" no change.
Windows 11 all up to date.
It is driving me crazy as its not useful at all having to manually drag and drop files across each time I work on them. Thoughts please?
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.

Ok so my wording might not be helpful but the issue is that my PC does not sync with onedrive cloud and upload files as they are created.
File explorer as described above shows the constant 2 blue arrows so the file is not going up to Onedrive - I dont use cloud storage just for office documents but Onedrive should sync any file regardless of extension.
You dont download anything from 'the cloud' you simply open the doc
O365 when installed under a Win user admin account, and run from that admin account, auto logs in when the PC is started. There is no separate login for any component.
Win search for Word > Resulting shortcut > Rt click > Pin to task bar > start Word from that shortcut (hover mouse over the shortcut gives access to the 10 most recent docs)
Same for other core components.
Start eg Word open an old doc via recents/search
Rarely any need to access OneDrive itself.
If not an Office doc you save it to the OneDrive folder in file explorer
