MacOS Alias breaks when OneDrive syncs
I work on two computers and I used OneDrive to sync between those computers. When I create a MacOS alias, once it syncs to the cloud, the alias breaks. The alias links to other files in OneDrive. Is there a better way to create aliases in OneDrive, or a reason they break in OneDrive?

I am seeing the same thing, and it appears that OneDrive doesn't understand the special type of filesystem file a macOS alias or UNIX softlink is. In my case it does sync to the cloud, but on other OneDrive clients it appears as a generic document file, and the alias or softlink doesn't work.
This would be a nice feature to have.
