I have a number of folders shared with me by other OneDrive users. I've added these to My Files to appear alongside the folders on my OneDrive account. Up until yesterday, they appeared as folders on my PC, alongside the other folders which belong to my OneDrive account. Now these folders that are shared with me are appearing as shortcut links instead of folders on my PC.
This has happened to 3 different PCs which are all connected to the same OneDrive account. I have uninstalled OneDrive, cleared the cache, etc. and reinstalled on one PC, but the problem remains. I've removed shared folders, had them unshared by the owner, reshared back to me, and then added again to My Files, but this didn't work either.
How do I fix this?
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.

adding to this - my shared folders that previously opened as folders in file explorer have suddenly stared opening onedrive.com in edge.
1 more thumb up (respectively down... 🤯) on this issue: same problem here in our family with shared folders. That's a complete drama.
I am having the same issue on my Mac OneDrive
Reporting the same issue. A Mapped Drive is not acceptable.

As of this morning I am having the same issue. I have a family M365 account with 2 users and the folders shared between users in my family now appear as shortcut links rather than folders in OneDrive. There are shares going both ways with each PC owning some folders and sharing with the other.
