Microsoft 365 and Office | OneDrive | For home | Windows
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
the same for me.
it's really ugly, MS never reply for anything.
Even many customers are paying for it.
OneDrive shared folders always open in webbrowser instead of windows explorer

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!

2025-03-01T09:06:08+00:00 @ComCluster : when you have such a major issue, the first step is to role back your software to the state before the issue. But Microsoft is not considering his customers anymore, the only priority is AI and there is no developper to solve the problems of cash-cow customers. More than 8 months without solution is an affront. No IT major company did it previously !
You have no choice to buy a MS 365 licence without OneDrive. Because of this issue, I migrated to other cloud storage provider but I want to have my money back for such **** and crappy onedrive storage.
MICROSOFT GIVE ME MY MONNEY BACK !!!
I hope all the American customers will launch a class action and make Microsoft pay the fines.
