Bug: Incorrect free space detection on OneDrive when using 'local first' #3616
Description
Describe the bug
I get the message:
“Skipping uploading this new file as it exceeds the available free space on Microsoft OneDrive” when running onedrive -s --resync, even though the file is already present on OneDrive and there is still free space available on my account.

swap 1 swap a56c1651-01ff-4572-975c-0725e0b67fd3 [SWAP]How do you use 'onedrive'
I use onedrive as a cloud storage. I use with a computer with linux and another with windows.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
just use the --resync option
Complete Verbose Log Output
onedrive -s --resync --verbose ✔
Reading configuration file: /home/louison/.config/onedrive/config
Configuration file successfully loaded
Using 'user' configuration path for application config and state data: /home/louison/.config/onedrive
WARNING: You have asked the client to perform a --resync operation.
This operation will delete the client’s local state database and rebuild it entirely from the current online OneDrive state.
Because the previous sync state will no longer be available, the following may occur:
* Local files that also exist in OneDrive may have local changes overwritten by the cloud version if a conflict cannot be safely resolved.
* Local files may be renamed or duplicated locally as part of conflict resolution and data-preservation handling.
* The initial synchronisation pass may involve a large number of file uploads and downloads.
* The increased activity against the Microsoft Graph API may trigger HTTP 429 (throttling) responses during the synchronisation process.
For safest operation:
* Ensure you have a current backup of your sync_dir.
* Run this command first with --dry-run to confirm all planned actions.
* Enable 'use_recycle_bin' so that online deletion events from OneDrive are moved to your system Trash rather than deleted from your local disk.
If in doubt, stop now and back up your local data before continuing.
Are you sure you wish to proceed with --resync? [Y/N] Y
