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.

This issue started to affect my OneDrive from last week. No response from Microsoft and going by this thread the problem is spanning years now so I have no doubt that Microsoft will not be fixing this. :(
This problem has been active for over a year and getting worse. Your interm solution only works if internet access is available and it makes it greatly more difficult for users with less than optimal computing skills. When is this going to be fixed?
Yeah this happened to me just today, 16th of october.
Which is funny because this "problem" started happening in june/july, I doubt they wouldn't have figured the cause by now.
Google Drive has no issue allowing local synchronization with explorer.. It also doesn't appear to be some type of cost-cutting measure, otherwise they would remove the onedrive desktop app entirely as it only makes sense due to Explorer integration.
I want to note here, that it appears to be account based on when the shared folders will display as links. I have a few accounts that I share out links and only one of them is screwed up. I do notice on the one causing issues, when you go to Manage Access it now has links in addition to the people. But on any of the accounts not putting a link in file explorer, when I go to Manage Access the people are there but 0 links shared out.
I'm more than happy to do a remote session with MS to show the differences to obviously help figure out the cause.
HI
we are also having this issue and is severely affecting the day to day running of our small business. Is there a time scale when this will be fixed please? How will we know when it is fixed and what action do we need to take to resolve this?
