In folder X1 in File Explorer, can you create a shared subfolder named X that syncs with a folder also named X in my employer’s SharePoint?

Thank you. How long can the overall sync take? I recently updated from windows 10 to 11... and onedrive has been synching by default basically everything (documents, pictures, video, music...)... and it's still working on it since 3 days now... 🤯. Is that pretty common or something is definitely wrong on my system?
