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.

    I'm beginning to believe that this simply a service that they have removed from our subscription to save money and just won't come clean. This is microsoft. This didn't just break and they can't fix it. They are still advertising hard on TV about how great they are. Have you noticed that they won't even update us. They just won't even talk about it.

    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.

    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.
