Sharing the same file across different Onedrive Folders
First of I would like to say this is a massive pain as I use google drive, where you can do this and not employ a work around.
I believe I have worked a solution out, but it will only work if the end user's computer is online.
1. Create a shareable link, either one anyone can edit or only certain users. ...copy link.
2. In Windows File Explorer, Go to fold and location in which you would like the share item to appear.
3. right-click in an empty space and select new
4. select shortcut
5. paste the copied link from step 2.
6. next and name as you wish.
7.Finish.
And that's done, pressing this shortcut will open the item in your browser, and you can then edit in the app under editing. Although it's not as ideal as the function in Google Drive it works as expected and will do for now.
My first thought was to create a batch file but this wouldn't work if opening it on a browser, while this does!
