It's March 2025 already and you (Microsoft) still have not fixed the problem that you found in June 2024.  Something is really wrong with Microsoft.

You should have source control and I suppose you use Git.  You should be able to trace back who did that and how to revert back.

Can't you employ qualified software engineers?

When you found out the cause, you should fire the person(s) responsible for this chaos!

    I found that my shared links/folders are working now LIKE BEFORE this chaos and WITHOUT any fiddling from me.

    Nevertheless, I found this situation unacceptable. This MAJOR bug, aka chaos, should have been avoided in the first place with qualified software engineers.

    Same problem with OneDrive here. Shared folders became internet shortcuts suddenly without any action from me! The online app does not give you the option to download the online folders as proper desktop folders in desktop OneDrive. 

    This is going on for a week
