OneDrive: Unable to add shortcut for shared files under "My Files"
Mike Williams Thank you for your reply. I was referring to the "My Files" option in OneDrive.
I can connect Tableau to only those files which appear under "My Files" In OneDrive.

PriyankaChhikara Just confirming that the folder is selected with a blue check-mark as that's not shown in your screenshot.

I'm shifting my team to OneDrive, the same thing we are trying to figure out for a few days.
The option to add shortcut does not appear.- PriyankaChhikaraSep 24, 2020Copper Contributor
Pavel_K1165 Mike Williams - I am told that this feature to add a shortcut in OneDrive for business will be available worldwide by the end of September 2020. Hopeful that one more week and we should see it.

Mike Williams Hi Mike, even if the folder is selected, "Add Shortcut" option doesn't show up. Neither in the three dots menu nor on the top.
- Mike WilliamsSep 23, 2020Iron ContributorWorking off your screenshot, if you select the folder, do you see the "Add shortcut to My Files" option at the top of the screen or from the folder's kebab (vertical three dots) menu?

Mike Williams No, I don't see the "Add shortcut to My Files" option anywhere. That's exactly the issue I reported here.
