For a single user with no need to share access, you can also just stick everything in a VeraCrypt vault stored on Dropbox. Dropbox seems pretty good at updating only the parts of the vault that have changed, versus the entire (sometimes huge) vault file. I've heard OneDrive updates the entire vault file every time, although I haven't experimented with it myself.

Dropbox's client uploads binary diffs to make updates to things like your VeraCrypt value efficient. Using a modified librsync last I heard. Sounds like OneDrive is missing this feature.
