Hi Vasil.
I think the issue is connected with OneDrive new (or "newish") "Folder Protection" feature.
See https://support.office.com/en-us/article/protect-your-files-by-saving-them-to-onedrive-d61a7930-a6fb-4b95-b28a-6552e77c3057?ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US
I have problems with this feature too, albeit different from yours...
