I am having problems with shared folders in OneDrive. They are showing up as internet shortcuts only, I used to have them in File Explorer as a folder that I would click on to access content of that shared folder. My IT person found a website stating that Microsoft is aware of this issue. When will this be fixed?
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Same thing happened to me. On Friday, suddenly the sync engine started malfunctioning and when I restarted one drive - everything converted to internet shortcuts.
Is this a way to switch us from One drive Personal to One Drive Business? Absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. And there seems to be no fix. The entire point of one drive was real time access to the files.
since yesterday we are also in the club .. on thursday i received an email that i deleted a lot of files (which I didn't)...on saturday onedrive gone crazy with doing some kind of a full sync (generating 3 hours of full load) .. after that all shared folders were replaced with internet-urls ...
.. as stated above this breaks severall workflows
Hello, Reception Skyway Park
Thanks for raising your concerns in Microsoft Community.
We are aware of the issue and are working on resolving it. The url files will automatically convert back to folders when the issue is resolved. For now, we recommend accessing shared folders that are in this state on OneDrive.com.
Please refer to this information here:
Add and sync shared folders to OneDrive for home - Microsoft Support

Any updates on this? Between this and the other thread there are literally thousands with the same issue, it's been over 8 months since this was first acknowledged with no updates. I'm using this for business and it is enough of an issue where I'm going to have to consider moving my enterprise account over to Google Drive if there isn't at least an ETA.
The problem has existed since May 2024. Are MS writing a new OneDrive os something?
NOT ACCEPTABLE!
So do I since this morning.
Me too.
