A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
That's good, for you. I'm still looking at "Internet Shortcut" file types that used to be direct folder links.
One Drive folders changed to Internet Shortcuts - FOR THE SECOND TIME!!!

In June 2024, my shared One Drive folders changed to Internet Shortcuts. Despite trying any suggestions we could find, and hearing nothing but canned responses from MicroSoft, we opted to spend a weekend changing to a new email address / MicroSoft / One Drive account after 6 months of frustration.
Today, that new account once again changed my One Drive folders to Internet shortcuts. Besides going through the entire new email address process again, have I missed any workarounds for this?

It's been a brutal 9 months of waiting for a few of our staff, and here in this past week, several of our staff who haven't had this issue now do have it, so we've actually been going backwards with this issue. I'm giving it one more week I think before switching to another service entirely as enough of the staff have the issue now that we're at that breaking point basically.
