    Common reasons:

    • The file owner stopped sharing the item. When that happens, it disappears from Shared.
    • Shared items are stored on the other person’s OneDrive, so they do not behave the same as files in Files/My files.
    • On the web, shared items are found in OneDrive.com under Shared. For work or school accounts, use Shared > Shared with you.
    • In the mobile app, shared items are in the Shared view.
    • For work or school accounts, the Shared with you view shows up to 500 items.
    • Shared folders cannot be moved from Shared into Files/My files. If there is edit permission on a shared folder, a shortcut can be added instead.
    • If a shared folder shortcut appears as a .url internet shortcut instead of a normal folder, that is a known OneDrive issue. The content can still be accessed through OneDrive.com.
    • There is also a current known issue where some users cannot hide, remove, or stop sharing files in the OneDrive Shared tab because of the error "The provided item ID is not valid for the requested drive".

    What to check:

    1. Sign in to OneDrive.com and open Shared.
    2. If using a work or school account, open Shared > Shared with you.
    3. Confirm the owner is still sharing the file.
    4. If the item is a folder and edit permission exists, try Add shortcut to My files.
    5. If the shortcut opens in a browser as a webpage, use OneDrive.com to access it for now.
    6. If the issue continues, for personal accounts use Contact Microsoft Support. For work or school accounts, contact the organization’s IT helpdesk or admin.
