Hi,

When will this problem be fixed? It has been unresolved for nearly two months now.

Issue

Some OneDrive shared folders shortcuts located in your My Files folder may show up as .url internet shortcuts instead of actual folders.

If I try to open the folder shortcut, it opens as a webpage instead of a folder.

Best Regards ,

Blanchi Dabre

    probably associated to this issue is the fact that when I try to Add a Shared folder to ´My Files´ it fails to do so.

    Hello ? Microsoft ? Someone ?
    I got all our team to switch to Dropbox. It's more expensive, but definitely better, faster, more reliable, works great on phones. Now preparing to shut down our Office licences. Just saying ... not that you care, obviously...
    Bye Microsoft, we wasted too much time.

    Most disappointing that it's taking weeks, months and seemingly years to be resolved.

    Others have asked and I do too - please allow more time to work on this issue as it is very frustrating.

    I am having to re-write some documents because I can't access them to edit and save.
