'Add shortcut' feature in external SharePoint site
Is the Add shortcut to OneDrive feature limited to sites within your tenant? I can only see the Sync option in an external SharePoint site.
- I suspect you have an Excel add-in which is causing havoc. Open File, Options and click the add-ins tab. Click the Go... button. Note which add-ins are checked and uncheck them one at the time, each time closing the dialog and rebooting Excel and retrying to open a file. If it starts behaving you've found the problem add-in.
There are two types of add-ins, so repeat this process for File, Options, Add-ins tab, click the drop-down and choose "COM add-ins".
In addition, a file may be automatically loaded from two different locations.
1. File, Options, Advanced tab, General section there is a box that says "At startup, open all files in:", note what is there and clear it.
2. Close Excel and open Windows Explorer and type this in the address bar: %appdata%\Microsoft\Excel\XLSTART and hit Enter. Move all files from that location to somewhere else.
Now reboot Excel

The add shortcut feature is only available to internal users simply because its not possible to add shortcuts to folders shared externally. So yes, the add shortcut feature is limited to sites within your tenants.
