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?
A Microsoft file hosting and synchronization service.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
What I don't understand is why no one from Microsoft is communicating on this issue and providing a date by which the issue will be resolved. If it's not going to be fixed then I will be forced to look at alternatives (iCloud being the obvious one for me) as I can't work with the current set up.
MICROSOFT what have you got to say????
I have been fighting the same issue on our Win10 and Win11 computers this week. It started with a complete resync of OneDrive files over the weekend.
However, it only affects my personal/family account - my business OneDrive account on the same computer is not affected thank goodness. Perhaps it is due to the OneDrive version running on that server end?
March 2025 and this is still happening. How about Microsoft just focuses on NOT BREAKING THINGS THAT USED TO WORK PERFECTLY WELL, instead whatever it is that they're doing with our data, money, time, and effort?!
It's becoming really frustrating to just see features THAT USED TO WORK just stop working all of a sudden, because someone at Microsoft decided to "improve user experience" by making completely unnecessary changes to push adverts and data collection.
As soon as I'm able, I'm switching to Linux. I'm getting sick and tired of these tech giants taking our money, fees, time, data, anything and everything, and just RUINING things that used to work. And in the meantime - ABSOLUTELY NO ONE FROM MICROSOFT TO OFFER VIABLE, ACTIONABLE SUPPORT!
Makes me furious that you mess with people's time, money and work, all because you can't respect the consumers who gave you the leading position you currently hold.
What I don't understand is that this is clearly a real issue, and not a new one, and there is no one on this thread from Microsoft providing any information or a date by which this issue will be resolved.
The issue is causing me significant issues with sharing folders with my family and the workflow simply doesn't work using the browser
Same problem here. Microsoft disgusts me.
