Just to clarify this: if
OneDrive folder is included in Macrium system image and you will add files and folders to OneDrive folder after creating the image, then restore the image, all content added since image was made will be deleted from OneDrive and all devices syncing the same OneDrive account, as well as from OneDrive cloud.
This is of course logical and as far as I know the same with all cloud sync services.
Example: When Macrium image is created, it contains OneDrive with personal folders
Folder1,
Folder2 and
Folder3. Later on, after creating image user adds
Folder4,
File1 and
File2.
PC crashes, user must restore the image. At this point, after restore, the local OneDrive folder does no longer contain
Folder4,
File1 and
File2. OneDrive service sees this as deletion, deleting said folder and files from cloud and from all devices syncing the same OneDrive account.
Folder1,
Folder2 and
Folder3 would naturally remain and be synced to other devices because they were included in image.
For this reason I wholeheartedly recommend that you set OneDrive to use another partition than Windows system partition C:, then exclude this partition from backups:

This makes sense because OneDrive is already backed up to cloud, you do not have to include it in system image. After an image restore simply set up OneDrive using this location and you are done.
If your PC only has Windows partition, no additional data partitions, simply shrink C: in
Disk Management and create a new partition for OneDrive.
