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?

    This doesn't fully work for me. My sub-folders show empty. Scared me at first, but I verified the content does exist when I access from the URL in the browser.

    I can see the first couple of levels of folders, but when I get dow to actuall files, I just get "this folder is empty". There is some incosistency because sometimes it shows a deeper level of folders that others. It never shows files.

    Also, I'm fiding that sometimes I get a security violation that I don't have access. But this is inconsistent also.

    Any ideas on this? Others having these problems?

    Open Credential Manager. Under the tab "Generic Credentials", remove the Credential related to OneDrive that were created or modified in past days (from the date you created Network Location).

    Now create again the Network Location. I hope it will work as I was also facing same issue.
