These issues are specifically for accessing files/folders within File Explorer.
Noted today that for shared folders that were previously added (and readded today) to My Files do not allow access to the contents of the folder but instead they appear as a link to the webpage portal for access to the folder.
Initial access to the web portal version did not seem to work until after logging out and back in again (I think this is referenced in a published workaround).
Further, the same shared folder cannot be accessed via the link in Quick Access. It provides a "location is not found" error instead.
Not sure if there's a fix to this pending?

I just lost my access to a shared OneDrive folder two days ago. FWIW, ChatGPT tells me that this is a new Microsoft policy that's been in place since 2023, but it's just now getting around to me. My wife still sees the folder in Explorer, but the folder name changed. I suspect she'll get whacked soon.
I'm here to say that this is now happening in Windows 10 also, I'm guessing because of a recent update. All of the folders I've shared with my wife have disappeared from her Windows Explorer OneDrive folder, but she can still see them in the shared area in the website based OneDrive.
I've heard that MS was forcing some Win11 functions into Win10 with one or more of the most recent updates, I guess this bug is one of the gifts that comes with all of that.
It sure would be great if MS would sort out the issues in their new OS instead of forcing them into the previous OS where (mostly) everything still works the way folks need it to.
We are experiencing the same issue—shared folders are not accessible from File Explorer and only appear as URL links to OneDrive online. When we attempt to open the link, it redirects to the OneDrive web page but fails to locate the shared folder. This issue is disrupting our business operations, and we would appreciate a prompt resolution from Microsoft.
We are having the same issue (can't access shared folder from file explorer, only shows up as URL link to onedrive online). Issue started Feb. 24th for me. Please fix this Microsoft. We are unable to carryon our business with this issue.
Yes, I'm sure. I tried to connect multiple shared subfolders under the account that shares them, with full paths as shown in your screenshot. I've just tried again, to make sure. The errors returned are either "the network name cannot be found" or "this doesn't seem to be a valid folder path", depending on what method (net use, map drive, add network location) I try.
I wonder if there's a feature that needs to be enabled first, like a WebDAV client or something. Does anyone listening in here have an idea what it might be?
