OneDrive shared folders showing up as URL links and not actual folders

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

    Hello, Blanchi

    Thank you for raising your concerns in the Microsoft Community.

    We are aware of the problem and are working to solve it. The URL files will automatically be converted back to folders when the issue is resolved. For now, we recommend accessing shared folders that are in this state in OneDrive.com.

    Please see this information here:
