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?

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows

    The worst reply i ever received from a company like (MS). They say they don’t have ETA when the issue will be solved. Who believe that ???

    do you want to convince me that MS can’t find a solution ???

    This issue seems to be intended by MS to the users. While we are paying you yearly for a service and you can’t provide a proper service.

    Anyway, after almost many years with MS, i hade to move to a different provider who offer better service and cancelled my subscription with MS.

    I've just seen the Microsoft 50th anniversary timeline presentation. They missed a really important important milestone:

    "2024 - developed innovative, imaginative, and downright idiotic ways of completely screwing our customers and the work they do".

    MS 1 year did not bother for its customers, seems they dont plan to fix it either.

    Goggle Drive won.

    Never looked back - it's even better app.
