Sharing the same file across different Onedrive Folders

Hi RaddadAY
One solution that's close to what you want to accomplish in OneDrive is to create a linked document in the folder via: +New > Link...
This creates a linked file in Onedrive from another location.
The Link pane provides recent documents you've opened to link to (handy), or you can provide an explicit URL to link to. Every document has a unique URL (right-click document/file use 'Copy Link' to access it).
Hope this helps.
