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.

Hi
Anyone still facing this issue? Or found any workaround method?
As at 27/03/2025, am still facing this issue....
Seem Microsoft haven't resolve it....
@AlexOng1 I have two accounts where they were upgraded and now work, but a third one is part of a family account with the most data of any of them that still has not been upgraded. Not sure when this will happen and hope it's in the next year. :P
@Mike-E_wins Regard the mentioned upgrade, you able shared the Onedrive desktop app version number you using which worked?
I'm guessing perhaps can compare and see any different... mine current is Build 25.035.0223.0003 (64-bit)
