How do I sync a shared folder in OneDrive to File Explorer? There is no longer a sync button. Was there a recent update? The folder was previously accessible via my File Explorer and is no longer there. I still have access to the shared folder via the online url. I can add a shortcut to My Files, but that only adds a shortcut to the online url. I am currently on Windows 11.
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.

Not understanding why only one of my 'shared' folders is impacted. I have other folders from another user that continue to properly display in File Manager on my PC. Or.... will they also implode too if I try to update anything on my PC?
Spend some time playing with this. No changes. Shared folder doesn't work.
Unfortunately, doesn't seem to work for me. The "add shortcut to my files" is still a URL shortcut to a link within the browser.
I also can not save a file from a desktop app to a shared OneDrive folder. Must save to desktop then open shared folder in the browser then copy the file from the desktop. What a PAIN!
Have a look at my response. More or less there seems to be a difference between "add this folder as a shortcut to My Files" which just adds a shortcut and "add shortcut to My files" which adds in the expected way.
