OneDrive: Shared folders are only available via internet shortcut

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?

    I have @hotmail account sharing with @live.com (in fact in same family account) and having the issue (started couple of weeks ago or so). So no, it's not cross-vendors specific.

    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?

    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. :(

    Exactly the same for me too. Google email as Microsoft account.

    Opened an issue with Microsoft, no response. Might as well change to a different cloud provider.

    Same exact behavior... Problem is I have pre-paid for 2 years... ...
