Hi,
I’m currently interested in buying a license for my OneDrive account, and I’m using a free trial to see how it works. I would like to migrate my Dropbox over to a OneDrive Business account, since I get 5TB free storage through my university.
The problem I’m having is, when I sync files with OneDrive, I get a lot of odd tmp files:

These tmp files don’t show up in the online version of OneDrive. When I delete one of the files, I wind up deleting both the tmp and non-tmp file (I lose them both).
Additionally, after I sync the first time, I can close Insync and restart it. I find it re-downloads several files, sometimes as duplicates:
/home/nate/OneDrive/Jobs_School/Faculty_Applications/2018_Boston_I/2018_Boston_teaching_statement.docx
/home/nate/OneDrive/Jobs_School/Faculty_Applications/2018_Boston_I/2018_Boston_teaching_statement (2).docx
If I delete the duplicate (2), I wind up deleting both files. However, if I go into my Trash, I can restore one or both, and then delete them individually (as in, after I restore both files, I can delete the duplicate (2) without deleting the original).
This behavior seems weird to me, and I have some folders with 3,000 PDFs in them, so I can’t just go in and fix the problem by hand. Is this an Insync issue or a OneDrive issue? Is there a known fix for this?
Thanks!
