Folders Shared with me are syncing as internet shortcut in OneDrive on Windows PC

Congratulations on Microsoft’s 50th anniversary. Thank you for bringing customers the greatest convenience in computing.

You’re truly amazing, so please fix the OneDrive shortcut issue right away. I believe you’ll have it fixed within the next 24 hours.

Sincerely,

Open your OneDrive account (onedrive.live.com). Click on the gear in the upper-right corner, then Options. On the Options page, if the bottom option in the left menu is "Search", you're on V1. If it's "Restore Your OneDrive", you're on V2.

Thank you very much Matt. I am on Version 2.

Here is the statement from the Microsoft OneDrive product group (Redmond USA) about the OneDrive Personal problem:

***This is related to a backend migration we are doing and unfortunately, we don’t fully support syncing shared folders in the case where one user has migrated and the other has not. We’re doing everything possible to accelerate things so that it can be resolved as soon as possible for users of the feature. When the accounts are migrated, there is automated logic that makes them go back to a syncing folder within several days.***I have heard, that shared Folder issue is gone.
The best thing is: WAIT and do nothing

This sounds as a good solution, if it were something they told us all, publicly. Jus tell us that shared folders will be url links from now on. I don't f*cking care anymore. I am sick of being treated like an entitled Karen when asking for very BASIC service.

If I were running their show I would break ALL shares and kick out the 20% people who use them out.

I'd cut on bandwidth costs and dump my worst customers.

I don't know why they just don't own what they're doing, but choose to act as if they can't see it.

I am pretty sure a topic like this was seen at least by one relevant enough person. Yet, they're laughing at us, rightfully. We're stupid poor people who can't afford our own solutions and rely on them, expecting good service for 10 dollars a month.

Did you know they have "health information clauses" surrounding our medical information backed up in the cloud that they can sell for profit, besides other things, as if this were a f*cking free service???????????

Shame on them for doing this and shame on us for being too tired to read those terms (and updates).

We are doomed if we use their services. They own us and they can call us their b*tches. And we'll gladly accept the label if that means cheap cloud storage. We deserve it too, I am including myself.
