How to force OneDrive to sync files via Symbolic Link?

The OneDrive folder has a number of subfolders, which are Symbolic Links, leading to a folder with working files that are being worked on. On the second PC, work is carried out with the same files located directly in the subfolders of the OneDrive folder. Why it was done this way is no longer important, but for example, Yandex Disk works quite correctly with the same structure, synchronizing files on another PC when changing or uploading files to a directory that has a Symbolic Link in the Yandex.Disk folder, and OneDrive does this only when initial load of the service. I found a recommendation on the Internet to make a Task in the Scheduler that will close and restart OneDrive every few minutes, but for me it only stops OneDrive and then does nothing else.
