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

working for me now

NOT YET ON MY SIDE!

This is absolutely absurd. I have a few shared folders that I did a long time ago that still show up as folders and I access the shared data file with an associate. We both PAY for the expanded Onedrive service and the way this is working right now creates a worthless situation. This appears to go back Years, not weeks, or months. It's hard to believe Microsoft is tossing out word salad that this is being worked on. Get your AI on it to figure out what is wrong with Microsoft's coding. We all need this to Function as Advertised. I don't want to pay for another subscription, unless I just drop Onedrive for another service all together. I do not think I am alone on this. Thank you for letting me vent regarding this ongoing problem.

Fully agree. This is absolutly not working and I will not be renewing 365 until it is resolved. In the meantime, I will look at other options like Sync.com, Dropbox or Box.

how long it will take? it is not usable any longer. we will move everything to other cloud solution in this case.

Hello,

When will this issue be resolved? Shared folders in my local Onedrive folder still show up as "folder_name.url" instead of an actual folder. This extremely hampers our work flow.

This is still not working on Onedrive v 25.046.0310 on macOS Sequoia 15.4 on my MacBook Air OR my wife's MacBook Air.

Our current work around is to migrate data to iCloud, but we are paying for MS 365 subscriptions.

Please advise on status.

Thanks,

Russell Irwin.

PS. Please see Microsoft's response below to my trouble ticket from last month.
