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?

    It's weird that people have this problem since June 2024 and there's no solution.

    Your answer is off topic and doesnt relate to my comment. This thread is about the cirtical problem, that you cant access a shared OneDrive Folder from your file explorer anymore. This behavior breaks several workflows. We switched to Google Drive, which integrates perfectly with the windows file explorer.

    Unfortunately, accessing Excel Macro Spreadsheets from shared OneDrive.com folders does not work. Macros are not support on OneDrive.com. These spreadsheets need to be run locally which is not currently possible with a local shortcut.
