Windows One Drive shared folder suddenly become shortcut instead of folders
Hi All. I have found a work around. Costs money, but seems to be working fine.
I opened a new Onedrive work account. Paid the subscription, added users and moved all the files into that Onedrive.
Everything is busy syncing across still and will probably take another day or two but we are all able to access everything again in windows explorer without the shortcuts.
I shared the folders as I did before on the Onedrive online.
It may be a hassle because it costs extra money, but it is worth the extra money than to have the inconvenience. This issue has cost me so much of my time!
I am going to leave the other account operating to see when Microsoft sort it out. Also does not help that I had paid the yearly subscription just a few days before the problem occurred.
