A OneDrive folder has been shared with me, but in windows File Explorer, it appears as a link rather than a folder when I add it as a shortcut to OneDrive "My Files". How can I fix this so the shortcut appears as a folder instead of a link?

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    WHEN will this be fixed?

    The post above is June 2024.

    It's now March 2025 - and all my synched files have vanished!

    I have 20,000+ files in my PAID subscription - using 200GB out of 1TB.

    Using a web interface to upload and download is NOT WHAT I HAVE PAID FOR!!

    Now Microsoft have increased the cost of a subscription!

    FIX IT - and I'LL PAY

    OR GIVE ME A REFUND!!

    We use mapped drives for those in the same office. Doesn't work for people 3 states away. This is ridiculous that we are trying to solve a Microsoft issue that we are paying for. The sell is, that if you are the most basic uuser you should be able to do file sharing after a YouTube tutorial. When will they chime in and say something.

    8 months and still no fix yet MS developers are "working around the clock to fix it."

    Yeah, right. I could write a OneDrive equivalent in that time.
