OneDrive: In windows 11, file explorer no longer allows you access to shared folders within "my files" or QuickAccess except as a link to the online version of the folder

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 am still out and cannot share One Drive folders and access through File Manager/ Quick Access. This is beyond the pale. Why is this happening and not fixed. It's been several weeks.

    I've just been back to see my customer who has had the problem since it started and it's all working now.

    Nothing was changed, it just came back to life, so all is good with them.

    I hope it's the case for others.

    Same issue, started for no reason on 7/10/2024. One Drive was no longer in my File Explorer, had to pin the web version to my task bar.

    Adding my concerns as well as others. I've been trying everything to fix this issue, thinking it was a WIFI/VPN blocking issue because I was travelling. This is incredibly inconvenient daily. Any updates?

    This is not helpful.

    Files cannot be worked on through third party software like bluebeam without downloading them.

    In that case it is no longer a shared file that updates to other users of that file.

    What is the status of correcting the issue with getting shortcuts into onedrive personal?
