Cloudsync creating extra files starting ._

I'm using Cloudsync to back up to OneDrive.

Recently it has started to create additional small files starting with ._ as part of the backup on both the NAS and OneDrive.

For example, if I had a file called "news.pdf", not only would that be backed up, I'd also have a file called "._news.pdf" created in the same directory. The new file is always 4kb in size, regardless of the original.

What's going on?

Hello, what mode did you use to back up to OneDrive? "Only upload local files" or "Two-way sync" mode?
