This isn't actually a feature request but a request for adding a bit to the documentation. More specific for using the same folder when dual booting Windows and Linux. It may have been a solution for #782 and has a bit of relevance to #757.
Context
I'm dual booting Windows and Kubuntu since a few months now and the only thing holding me back from making the switch away from windows completely was onedrive synchronization, because I use onedrive to "store" all of my school stuff. But then I found this project, which is amazing btw, and all was good and everything was working. I could use the same folders on the same partition for both windows and linux.
But then I tried moving windows from my SSD to my HDD to make space for Kubuntu, but that failed horribly, cuz f*ck windows. Eventually I managed to reinstall windows and setup onedrive there (and check "keep offline" on the whole folder). But when switching back to linux, I noticed all files where 0 byte links (made by windows).
Describe the solution you'd like
To fix the problem of windows turning all files (that should be kept offline) into links, you have to uncheck a specific option in the onedrive settings window. The option in question is
Save space and download files as you use them
.Where to find this setting?
Open the onedrive pop-up window from the taskbar, click "Help & Settings" > "Settings". This opens a new window. Go to the tab "Settings" and look for the section "Files On-Demand".
After unchecking the option
Save space and download files as you use them
and clicking "Ok", Onedrive should restart itselve and start actually downloading your files so they will truely be available on your disk offline, and should be seen as actual files on linux.Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context
I added 2 screenshots with the option that should be unchecked.
