This issue is seen when syncing SharePoint team sites using the newer version of OneDrive.exe (17.3.6743.1212 or higher).

Internet Explorer on Windows 7 handles protocols differently from newer versions of Windows (8/10), and other browsers (Chrome/Firefox).

RESOLUTION:

Sync the SharePoint team site using a non-IE browser i.e. Chrome or Firefox.

Microsoft's product group is aware of issue and is currently working on a fix.
