we found out that when I browse folders in MS Excel or Word, I can see the folder and it is not displayed as a placeholder. Therefore we copied the path of the last opened file from onedrive in MS Excel https://d.docs.live.net/.../foldres... etc. and mapped it as a network folder, then access via the explorer works. What do you think?

    Here we are, after nearly 5 years of this trick to share premium account folder with non premium for central storage it finally happen to me.

    The trick does not work for me neither, event with rebooting before.

    Guess i will wait (like microsoft said on their page) that the issue is resolved and get back to normal.

    This solution only applies to Word documents or any files that can be edited online. However, for those of us working in Revit and other software, we face a challenge. We cannot fully access the files unless we download them to continue working. After making changes, we then need to upload the files back to OneDrive so that our coworkers can access them.

    I used the username and password for the account the folder is shared with. (The receiver of the shared folder.) This is also the account I am using to login to Windows.

    It's strange. I mostly use that surface and it doesn't work on that.
