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!!
Do customers even matter to Microsoft anymore?
The answer is in the response to this issue on this site, which does belong to Microsoft. We are being completely ignored.
I have wasted hours trying to resolve this myself. unlinking accounts. unsharing and re-sharing. it is incredible that this has been going on for so long.
Microsoft recently increased all rates too - what for? a worse service...?
Microsoft please resolve this issue
