Good Morning.
A user in our office went onto OneDrive Online and accidentally clicked on the Hide from Shared button on one of the folders which was shared with him.
It gave a message that read:
"Remove Folder
If you remove this folder, you'll still have access to it, but it won't appear here."
He then clicked on the remove button.
So, the folder is currently "hidden".
Please advise on how to unhide it, so it shows up in the "shared with me" view again.
Additional information:
- I saw a YouTube video where a lady fixed it by clicking on a filter button and clicking to show the hidden folders. But there is no filter button available on my screen.
Currently Using Edge as browser.
- If you search in the "Search Everything" Bar for the folder it shows up, but we want it displayed correctly again.
Thanks.

Maybe the first hint is a solution. Can someone share the link to the video?
BR, Thomas
