OneDrive shortcut appears as an internet shortcut instead of a folder

Thanks for this info I will check mine also to see what version im on

As reported some time ago by Mike this was not waiting for a client side fix but for a backend migration to complete.
I can confirm that my OneDrive apperently went through this migration as my issue is solved.

The new shared folders still have the "link" icon, showing it's a shared folder linked to your onedrive, but they no longer direct to the OneDrive website, confirming that the migration is complete.

I also no longer have the "search" item in the OneDrive settings.

So Kudo's to Mike for posting this and being right.

Hi @AlexOng1 please be aware this is not a software/client-based problem but an account-based problem. It doesn't matter the client you have installed, but it's based on the backing account which has to be migrated over to the new SharePoint backend the OneDrive team has been working on for the past year.

The tell-tale sign is to visit your account here:

https://onedrive.live.com/?v=managestorage

And if you see "Search" on the bottom left nav this means you are on the older version:

I refresh this every day to see if my account has been upgraded.

My Issue seen as fixed. Looks like you just have to write here and wait.

Agreed. This is completely unacceptable. This has been sn issue for months now. We have resorted to large thumb/usb drives for now, but this is horrible for collaboration and syncing.
