I believe that there are no way to access the onedrive folder FULL programatically from your UWP. OneDrive folder is not assigned as "Special folders" like as pictures, documents, etc.

One workaround is ... ask the user to pick the folder of onedrive by FolderPicker.PickSingleFolderAsync, only once. You can save the storagefolder object to MRU or FAL list, and reuse it later.

For details, please refer the following link:

Note - Only the configured Win10 "PC" have the local onedrive folder. Other Win10 family - mobile, hololens, xboxone, etc - does not have it.
