If you plan to open source it and it scratches your own itch, I’d say just go for it. You’d be surprised how many people will end up using your work.

I have no interest in OneDrive, but if you want inspiration and ideas, take a look at maestral.app, an open source client for Dropbox.

You might want to have a look at rclone. Not sure if it does real-time sync, but it’s very capable. No GUI though, at least not in the official distribution

It does real-time sync if you use the mount command

I'm working on a similar app https://cloud.doshare.me we will open source after beta testing. Because cloud storage clients do suck currently, including Drive, OneDrive.

Integration with OneDrive is a feature after beta phase we want to implement.
