Hybrid Backup Sync

If you are syncing data from your NAS to your OneDrive for Business account through Hybrid Backup Sync (HBS), and you see some files starting with a tilde (~) in your cloud account, these are temporary files for files that have not been fully synced yet. Once syncing is complete, these temporary files will automatically disappear and be replaced by fully synced files.
