Sharepoint shared sites folders doesn't show up in portal office com or sharepoint

Dear all,

 

I have created a site for a company A and created a tree of folders and shared each of those folders with a particular mail enabled security group using Manage Access. when doing so all users got the email notifying them of the share however few didn't.

 

I would like to know what to do If you would like to let alert those specific people who didn't get the email about their shared folders. 

 

I tried going to portal.office.com to see if the shared folder/site might show there in the main page but it didn't show for them.

 

I tried to visit https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/ but also nothing shows up.

 

The only way it works if I copy the link that came with the email then it'll direct the user to its shared folder. 

 

I would appreciate if anyone have any information about this.

 

Thank you

  • Shared resources can usually be found in the onedrive app. On the left menu is a shared menu item which has a view for “shared with me” this will list everything shared with you and you can sort by person , date etc.

      ChrisWebbTech  It didn't show for them, the only way it showed is when I brought that link on their computers and launched the browser and clicked Synced on that folder then it launched OneDrive and showed the permitted folder.
