IceDrive Asking for Access to Favorites

Windows 10 alerted me with a message “Protected folder access blocked.” Icedrive.exe attempted to access “%userprofile%\Favorites.” Why does IceDrive need to access my Favorites? For now, I have not changed the action as it remains “Blocked” until further clarity is provided.

Have you created a sync pair which includes this particular local folder?

No, such reference is to links pinned in MS Edge. I don’t use MS Edge so there is nothing there but it is suspicious as to why Icedrive wants to access something outside of its local apps folder.

Please explain why IceDrive needs access to Favorites.
