This has bothered me for a while as I use OneDrive almost exclusively for
my files, yet none of my OneDrive appear on the Recently Used Finder list. Well, they do, but a long time later so no longer useful. Aren't they seen like local files by macOS given they are stored there?
I regularly work on many files at a time so it would be helpful to have
this working as expected.
Is this just me or is there something I can do fix it?

Extremely dangerous strategy! Never trust American companies. Recently a German IT-student was locked out of his universitary work after copying holiday-pictures of his nude nephew at the beach to OneDrive.
Never ever trust American tech companies!

He may have no choice if he’s using it for work purposes and the employer’s
policy is to use MS software products and services. Some employers even insist on employees using crap such as Norton anti-virus on their Macs!
Never ever trust American tech companies!
Including Apple - surely not ;-)

Just tried it. Opened a Word file showing in my OneDrive Documents window
and it immediately appeared as a recent file in Finder after I did a minor edit and save. I notice OneDrive doesn’t itself have a recents option although you can see them in the invidudual Office apps dialogues.

I'm pretty sure Recent Items has never shown recent items (here on
Mojave & previous OSs)

Just created a new word doc and saved it to OneDrive -> Documents but this time it hasn’t appeared in Finder recents! I notice OneDrive is now displaying recently synced files though. Weird.

And after several hours it had still not appeared in recents. However
on editing and saving it, the document appeared immediately in recents.
More weirdness!

Why are you using a *Microsoft* facility instead of Apple's iCloud Drive?
Odd.

Your world view is yours, fine, but you cannot impose it on others.

Here it seems that non-cloud files do appear fairly predictably. However, I don't look often as it rarely has the files I'm looking for.
Shame really as it would be really useful.
