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?

    can you clearify: What exactly did you do?

    I deleted the Folder (the one that was just being a link) again,

    then went to my OneDrive Account on Microsoft Edge. Clicked there on the left side on "Shared".

    After that i clicked on the top on "Add shortcut "to My Files".

    A Minute later or so the Folder popped up in my explorer and worked as it should be.

    As I said, I don't know why it worked now. I've done exactly the same thing a lot over the last few days and each time the folder just became a shortcut.

    Me and my co-worker were trying to find a solution or another workaround and started to upload our shared folder to another cloud service and so on.

    Then I tried one more time to link the shared folder with my account and this time it worked like it should do again, accessing the folder through explorer.

    We absolutely don't know what happened and/or why it works now.

    We did the same on another account and workspace, where we had the same problem and it worked also.

    Don't know why it works again or if it will last, but i hope it will work again for you guys and that Microsoft finally fixed it.

    Let's hope for the best.

    The net drive solution does not work for PDF files and other "normal" file types. We need another solution or even better a bugfix
