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

The main concern is that the folders content cannot be accessed when one is not online. We are in South Africa and this happens fairly often due to link theft, power outages etc.
Do you have a date when this will be resolved?
