Small Firm Exchange

My nine-person firm recently converted from an in-firm server to cloud-based storage via MS Sharepoint/One Drive.   Autocad creates two temporary hidden file extensions when a drawing is in use: .dwl & .dwl2. These files are not lock files. SharePoint will not recognize these file extensions, preventing a snyc.  Microsoft allows blocking of certain file types, but a recent post describes a negative result from blocking within SharePoint is numerous non-sync warnings.    We would like to sync files when we collaborate within our office without having to close out of the file. Does anyone have experience with issue? Any way to turn off the One Drive non-sync warnings?   

Thanks.
