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.

For me it seems to work but now I have some issues regarding uploading files... my teammates can't see them when I upload some... great job Microsoft ..
Upgraded to what ?
An update here for me, all accounts in my Office subscription are now upgraded, and I no longer have the grief. THAT ONLY TOOK TEN MONTHS. 🤣🙄
Several have reported that Microsoft has resolved this issue. I have not seen that. In fact, today, a frequently-used shared folder has disappeared from my Windows Explorer. I can find it in the online OneDrive but the only thing I can do is make a hyperlink.
Microsoft: please fix this.
Same for me.
I access multiple shared onedrives.
One was broken for 2 months.
Then suddenly access to 2 others broke - indicating more back end changes.
Then this weekend, all started working!! Finally!
But why no comms!?
Why take so many months to sort this out?
**** service Microsoft!
Hang tight folks - I came close to moving to Drop Box
But I still needed my MS family account for Office licenses for the kids.
