I have suddenly lost the sync function to 2 important shared folders (ones shared with other people) My other folders and files (not shared) are fine. How can I fix it? For some reason, the folders have been sent to my recycle bin, but I cannot restore them.

    I believe Microsoft resolved the problem in the latest update.

    Thanks, this is working so that I have the shared folder set up as a network drive on my PC. I can now upload and download files and folders directly to that. Although it doesn't fix the sharing problem it is a good workaround for now.

    Side note, I can still access other shared folders from other accounts on the web and ondrive app but not this one. I can still access the shared folder when clicking the link in the email but the folder will not show up in the onedrive under "shared" and won't let me create a shortcut to the shred folder.

    Similar problem here. 7 computers sharing files across 5 OneDrive accounts in a single family subscription. First went wacky on wife's PCs, now others. Adds random empty folders, links that go nowhere, etc.
