You shouldn't be using OneDrive as a shared account as that just breaks Office. You have a SharePoint inside of Teams so use that. Asking for an "easy button" is the sort of thing that gets bosses made fun of on the internet.

Move your shared files into the Teams SharePoint, and put links to the storage folder into your individual OneDrive accounts.

I understand what you are saying. Given that this is a shared account we use, what would be the best way in terms of set up for us to access the OneDrive files and folders from our desktops without logging into the shared user account. Basically, she wants an "easy" button for this.
