OneDrive syncing not very reliable on Windows

Along Paul’s theme of “details matter”, does anyone have issues with OneDrive just being dumb?

For example, something that regularly happens is that I will take a phone on my iPhone, sync it to OneDrive (waiting until it has fully uploaded), and then try to access the photo from my PC. The OneDrive client will report “fully synced” but the photo is not there. I left the OneDrive PC folder open for 4 hours yesterday to see if it would show, and it still did not sync until I paused and re-activated OneDrive sync in the client (which essentially seems to log out and log back in).

This has been happening for years across multiple PCs and Windows reinstalls.

This seems like a case of “desktop sync just doesn’t work well” but am curious to know if maybe it’s just me.

Thanks for any input.
