Hi Steven,

Please make sure that you have unchecked the option ‘Enable Protected Mode’ in IE. For your reference:

https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/sharepoint_made_easy/2013/03/20/map-network-drive-webdav-with-sharepoint-online-o365/

1. Open IE-> Go to ‘Internet Options’
2. Select ‘Security’ tab -> Select ‘Internet’ Zone.
3. UnCheckthe box for ‘Enable Protected Mode’

In addition, please also make sure that you have enabled the WebClient service.

1. For Windows system, choose Run option(Win+R), type services.msc, and then press Enter.

2. In the list of services, locate the WebClient service, and then make sure that its status in the Status column is set to Started. If it isn't set to Started, double-click the WebClient service, click Start, and then click OK.

Hi Steven,

You may follow steps in the article below. See if there are some improvements.

How to configure and to troubleshoot mapped network drives that connect to SharePoint Online sites in Office 365

Meanwhile, to sync SharePoint Online libraries or OneDrive for Business libraries, the best practice is to use OneDrive for Business sync client. To learn more, see the following articles:

Get started with the new OneDrive sync client in Windows

Sync SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync client

Enable users to sync SharePoint files with the new OneDrive sync client (Given the screenshots, you want to sync the Team Site library. So, if you find the new sync client cannot sync that library. You can install registry key mentioned in this article)

Hi Steven,

Please try the following to check the outcome:

1.Start Internet Explorer.

2.Depending on your version of Internet Explorer, take one of the following actions:

  a.Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet options.

  b.Click the gear icon, and then click Internet options.

3.Click the Security tab, click Trusted sites, and then click Sites.

4.In the Add this website to the zone box, type the URL for the SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business site and the Open with Explorer URL (which uses a -files or -myfiles format) that you want to add to the Trusted sites zone, and then click Add.

For example, enter https://contoso.sharepoint.com and https://contoso-files.sharepoint.com for a site. Or, enter https://contoso-myfiles.sharepoint.com and https://contoso-my.sharepoint.com for a OneDrive for Business library. (Note: In this example, contoso represents the domain that you use for your organization.)

5.Repeat this step for any additional sites that you want to add to this zone. To make sure that Open with Explorer works correctly, you must include the SharePoint site URL or the OneDrive for Business URL in addition to the "-files" (for a site) URL or the "-myfiles" (for a OneDrive for Business library) URL.

6.After you have added each site to the Websites list, click Close, and then click OK.
