I think it depends on your setup as it can be setup and managed may different ways.
If you are working with ODFB in an environment with Microsoft's Active Directory, it would be best to set the settings across the environment via Group Policy, this way it is consistent and does what you need.

For users not using AD to configure centrally, my suggestions would (like that for my home PC) is:-

* If you can, turn on MFA for your Microsoft account. This helps to secure your files with an additional step outside your usual email/password combo.
* Once your client is up and running, go into the settings of ODFB, and into the Backup tab.
* Ensure your documents, desktop and pictures are set to sync with ODFB. Fix any errors with files that come up.

With that your usually most common and important folders will now be synchronised between your PC and the cloud.
If you wanted to, you could move other folders to the ODFB root folder to back them up too but you need to be careful what you put there in case it is referenced by a program. So you can't just copy say C:\Program Files\ to the ODFB folder as it will break many things.
