Sharing the same file across different Onedrive Folders
Is it possible to upload a link, and link it so its located on multiple folders on OneDrive? The purpose would be to ensure that while the file exists in multiple folders, editing it in one location ...
What is the logic behind having multiple files showing vs. a single file in a shared location that people know where to go edit the file?
You can create links or basically shortcuts that point to other files but you would manually have to do it. Clicking new in the folder you are in then link will allow you to paste a link to the source file.

Our company recently migrated from Google to OpenDrive. Google Drive does support checking the same file into multiple folders. We adopted this practice as each department organizes their folder tree differently but in essence access in some cases the same files and artifacts. This practice improves collaboration while still giving each team or department the freedom to organize files as they see fit.
mhettenkofer. Yes, same here and I really miss that option. It would also be useful for Teams as I want my colleagues to have access to the files in Teams they do not need to be part of. If I produce documents in the large central Team but need quick access in my student Teams I want to be using the same document, not a copy.
