Sharing the same file across different Onedrive Folders
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.
ChrisWebbTech The logic for me is i'm an English teacher and all of my planning resources are on one-drive in subfolders. So, I have one folder for all of my texts and their related resources, but another folder for more general topics like genre or visual imagery. What I want to do is link a few key texts into my genre folder, so they're there for easy access if I am say looking at planning a genre study, but then also have them in my subfolder for texts in case I want to do them separately; but I can't just copy/ past the folder because when I add resources to it. For instance, if I am collecting resources for Frankenstein, I'd want them to appear in my Frankenstein subfolder under both the 'text' folder and the gothic horror sub folder of my genre folder, so when I am looking for ideas as to what to teach, I see Frankenstein as an option for a gothic horror genre study or a standalone novel study.
I've tried linking and that kind of works, but I also use One-drive on the desktop, and the link only takes you to the online browser and while that's not a deal-breaker, it would be good to move between linked folders as smoothly as you go between normal folders.
