Pd2dsy access denied issues on Windows [SOLVED]

Installed pd2dsy today and tried both the gui version and command line version and am getting access denied errors trying to build an example per instructions, but the folder is accessible, any suggestions/ideas please? Thanks much for any hints!

GUI version is simply stuck in “Compiling…”

Command line version gives me this error string:

$ python pd2dsy.py --board patch ./examples/PdFiles/patch_test.pd
Namespace(pd_input='./examples/PdFiles/patch_test.pd', board='patch', custom_json='', search_paths=None, directory='.', force=False, ram='speed', rom='speed', libdaisy_path=None, no_build=False, log=None, flash_bootloader=None)
Generating project in "patch_test"

Just to answer my own question in case someone faces the above issue:
It’s a Python issue with some file sync software, in my case OneDrive.
When using a folder structure that is not OneDrive synced, everything works.
