MicrosoftCan you share the exact Project and Office version you now see Kylan - and I can take a look and see if I repro. Are you on First Release for Deferred Channel, July 12, 2016 Version 1605 (Build 6965.2066)?
Best regards, and congratulations on being the first post in this group!

Brian,
I have users experiencing the same behaviour described by Kylan. I can reproduce the issue as well. I'm running the following:
Project Version - 16.0.6925.1028
Office Version - 16.0.6925.1028
I added the following URL's to my trusted sites and that appears to have resolved the issue. I referenced the following text from KB2629108 - How to use the "Open with Explorer" command to troubleshoot issues in SharePoint Online
In the Add this website to the zone box, type the URL for the SharePoint Online site or the Open with Explorer URL that you want to add to the Trusted sites zone, and then click Add. For example, type https://contoso.sharepoint.com, https://contoso-files.sharepoint.com, or https://contoso-myfiles.sharepoint.com. (In this address, contoso represents the domain that you use for your organization.) Repeat this step for any additional sites or Open with Explorer URLs that you want to add to this zone.
