Syncing and Testing
To test rclone, start by creating an empty file, like hello.txt, and upload it to OneDrive using the 'rclone copy' command.
You can verify the upload was successful by checking the file in a web browser or using the 'rclone ls' command in the terminal.
The 'rclone copy' command creates a toplevel directory in OneDrive called 'test' if it doesn't already exist, and uploads the file to it.
To check if the directory exists, you can use the 'rclone ls' command in the terminal.
