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?

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?
Are you sure you are including the full folder path?
I was getting an error as well when I first tried it just using the d.docs.live.net/[CID]
As soon as I included the path on the shared folder as well, it worked (and still working great)
This method doesn't work on my Windows 11 machine, neither in the described way using "net use", nor by using the "Add a network location" or "Map network drive" features in Windows Explorer. The error is always that the network name cannot be found.
However, if I enter the path to d.docs.live.net in the Edge browser, it accepts it and redirects me to the OneDrive web interface for that folder. The URL changes to onedrive.live.com, followed by the folder ID.
I also noticed that OneDrive for Android does no longer display recent changes in shared folders. Files that I added since the whole issue started for me three days ago are not showing up. They do show up in Outlook for Android, when I simulate adding an attachment to an email and navigate to the shared folder there. This is getting increasingly inconsistent and worrying.
