OneDrive: Shared folders are only available via internet shortcut

Hello, Reception Skyway Park

Thanks for raising your concerns in Microsoft Community.

 

We are aware of the issue and are working on resolving it. The url files will automatically convert back to folders when the issue is resolved. For now, we recommend accessing shared folders that are in this state on OneDrive.com.

 

Please refer to this information here:

Add and sync shared folders to OneDrive for home - Microsoft Support

 

Warm Regards,

This is a straight up lie! Nothing has been fixed yet and we also didn't get any other information if this is intended behavior.

For any student or "non big business" user i recommend Google Drive or Dropbox, they both work well across all systems.

Any news?

Problem still exists. I had to reset and uninstall mac OS OneDrive because it stopped sync properly and now after reinstall of OneDrive we have *.url instead of shared folder.

Can you ASK engineers in Microsoft when we could expect the fix, or at least the status of this problem? I mean "we almost find the root cause" or " we fixed it, but we didn't tell you".

Your service as OneDrive is not reliable...how we can trust you?

We are looking to migrate to One Drive and just noticed this in our pilot testing.. is there no fix for this? We want our users to use local client, not the web client. What are my options? Avoid One Drive?

HI

we are also having this issue and is severely affecting the day to day running of our small business. Is there a time scale when this will be fixed please? How will we know when it is fixed and what action do we need to take to resolve this?

Regards
