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.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
MinhBui Huu you are incorrect, this issue STILL has not been fixed so please do not say that it has. Clearly MS doesn't care about it's users.
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.
A couple of comments to add on this:
1 - despite Microsoft's claims that they don't support when one user has been migrated and the other user hasn't, both my iOS and Android devices continue to work with links to shared folders without any problems whatsoever. So they can support it - I'm starting to wonder if this is deliberate in order to force people to use internet rather than local URLs.
2 - I suspect Microsoft's plan for the 'solution' for this problem is simply to wait until the second user has also migrated, at which point everything will start to work again. Given that they've supposedly been doing this migration for over a year now (which in itself beggars belief), it's probably not a good idea to hold your breath while waiting for this to happen...
Lots of words come to mind - lunacy, idiocy, insanity, incompetence, etc.
Completely agree. It does at least explain why I get a pathetic message in OneDrive on the web saying "user migrated" that keeps constantly refreshing.
The statement they gave is essentially an insanity plea. Whoever dreamed up a migration like this without considering the knock-on effects on their PAYING customers has hopefully been fired for their sheer incompetence and failure to observe even the most basic principles of customer satisfaction.
