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?

Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows

    I'm having the same issue (I'm a Mac user). A folder my wife shared with me (she's a Windows user) with all our important information is gone, now I have a weblink there.

    I see this has been around for more than half a year. Maybe it's the push I needed to get myself a NAS and forget about Microsoft 365.

    wondering what Microsoft is doing nowadays, we are not paying cheap to subscribe to the service.

    Switching to Google Drive, this is rediculous.

    Same problem for us since yesterday. A disaster. Are there any updates?
