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.
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.

Since a few days, the issue is solved by me. People accessing to me shared folder can access directly with the explorer and all internet shorcuts were replaced with the real files. It works as it should.
10 months to solve it ... :-( I don't thank Microsoft.
My productivity has suffered quite a bit. So much redundancy needed now just to do my processing of regular documents now. It makes me so mad that they don't seem to care how badly they are affecting productivity for so many people right now.
Having the same issues. The file used to show up just fine but is now a shortcut
I have the same issue too now... Microsoft are you working on this?
This is unacceptable. Microsoft should be able to fix this problem within a more reasonable timeframe. Many colleagues have switched to Google Drive and Dropbox because OneDrive's sync folder does not work properly on Windows—which is quite ironic.
