Since this morning, folders that are shared with me in OneDrive are always opened in the web browser.
Previously, these same shared folders always opened in Windows Explorer.
The fact that the files are only available in the web browser leads to a strong reduction in functionality and is problematic. I saved diles to the folder and different programs on my local pc call these files.
I followed the steps in the procedure:
Add and sync shared folders to OneDrive for home
I have performed the steps:
Unlink and re-link OneDrive
None of which helped or solved the issue.
This issue appears to have started after installation of the new OneDrive version Build 25.015.0126.0002 (64-bit)
A quick fix for this feature bug is appreciated!
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.
I don't think it's tied to the OneDrive client version. I'm on 25.070.0413.0001 (64-bit) and it's still not working as intended.
I still have multiple users with this problem. It is not business critical, but it sure is a huge inconvenience. Can it be confirmed that the behavior is due to a backend migration, resulting in what appears to be random set of users for a random time period?
An explanation and time window for a resolution would sure go a long way in appeasing my customers. We do not look good when we have no such information to share with users and bosses.
Yes! It appears to also be working for me now, to some extent. In File Explorer, I'm now able to pin to Quick Access the folders that are shared with me, and I can use File Explorer to navigate into these folders, access, and open shared files. However, it's a little slow to sync updates to files. I updated a file in the browser earlier today, and it took a couple of hours to sync to my desktop.
OneDrive version 25.065.0406.0002

I must be one of the lucky ones. I tested it again after seeing yet another reply to this topic.
Without me changing anything, it is now working.
It looks like there was a May 15 update to OneDrive so perhaps that was it.
