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?

    Dear,

    Thank you for sharing this information. I was facing this issue of getting URL Shortcut in my onedrive. I has followed this instructions shown above, and was able to map the drive. But the Map Drive was showing a complete Onedrive of my college instead of only showing the shared folder. And also the Map Drive was only showing the files but i cannot open any of the files and once i close the Map Drive, i cannot open it again as was showing error about the access to the folder.

    The solution seems to be too complicated.
    I request Microsoft to look into this matter or else they will loose the genuine users very soon.

    Prendendo spunto da Andrè, che ringrazio, ho risolto così:

    Sono andato su Onedrive browser (lato client) sono andato su "persona" ho scelto la cartella condivisa che era scomparsa su explorer e dal menù in alto ho selezionato "aggiungi collegamento ai miei file".

    Ora in locale con explorer rivedo la cartella che non è un collegamento del browser

    Aggiornamento:

    da uno degli utenti della famiglia che condivide con gli altri non funziona, cioè crea sui client solamente collegamenti a browser esterni

    When you say "linked the folder to my account", do you mean the person who shared it, shared it again?

    I was going to try that, and it would be good to know it has worked before taking the trouble to reach out to the person who is not very easily reachable.

    So the folder was actually not re-shared on the day it suddenly worked.

    We had tried re-sharing it a few days before and it didn't work then.

    As I said, we have absolutely no idea why it's suddenly working again now.

    We had the error with 3 different users a few days apart and nothing worked. Then we tried the workaround with the network drive, as explained at the beginning of the thread, and that worked for us for a day. The next day the workaround no longer worked, but for whatever reason we were able to link the shared folder again in Explorer as intended.

    doesn't work for me :(

    this problem is so strange

    I'm sorry it didn't work for you.

    Yes, it is definitely very strange.

    I'm also afraid that the problem will just crop up again for me tomorrow or sometime soon.
