we have fix to onedrive shortcut on file explorer

so far, here's what I'm seeing:

• shared folders between accounts at the same version (1.0 -> 1.0 or 2.0 -> 2.0): works fine (#1 of your options)
• your # 2 (2.0 -> 1.0) is NOT working, tested with several accounts and combinations
• your #3 is the same case my first option above (different versions is not working).

it works for me logging with the account that was shared with (mine) but at the third try

I tried this, and based on some very limited testing it seems to work!

Here's a bit more info on what I did (Windows 11, 24H2):

• As Krupička Lukáš described above, open a Microsoft app like Word or Excel, click on "open" and view the list of files recently opened. Find a file that is in the shared OneDrive folder you want to access. Right-click on the file and click on "Copy path to clipboard"
• Open Windows Explorer (from the Start menu you can search for "File Explorer"), and navigate to your computer name. It should display you devices and drives, and any network locations you may have.
• Click on "..." on the taskbar, and select "Map Network Drive"
• In the "What network folder would you like to map?" window that comes up, click on "Connect to a Web site that you can use to store your documents and pictures." This will open a wizard that will help you create a shortcut to OneDrive. Click Next.
• Click on "Choose a custom network location" and click Next.
• In the "Specify the location of your website", paste (cntrl-v) the path that you copied in the first step above. (Mine started with https://d.docs.live.net/...)  You may have to trim items off the end of the path if you want the link to go to a higher level in the directory structure than the path you copied. Click Next. It may ask you to enter the credentials of the OneDrive account the folder was shared with, and it will ask you to provide a name for the shortcut.
• When finished this should create a Network Location shortcut that you can see in Explorer under your computer. You can use it from Explorer or from within applications to browse to locate files.

Compared to the way OneDrive used to work with shared folders, it's pretty sluggish. I assume this is because the folder isn't mirrored locally and synched back to the server. This probably also means it will be more fragile in terms on network connection issues, etc. But for me, at least this gives me a somewhat clumsy way to get running again.

Thanks to Krupička Lukáš for the idea!

One of the employees for our office was experiencing the internet shortcut issue and your solution fixed part of our problem. Your solution did allow her to work with the content of the affected OneDrive files and folders directly and not have to access the subpar web version. The only issue we still have for our end is that I have numerous Python scripts I've created over the years that different employees run including her. It is unable to read these mapped locations directly like it can a locally stored path because they're internally looked at like a shortcut.

Either way, your solution still saves a lot of trouble so I appreciate it!

It's worked for me. Thanks

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.
