SP133540 - Problem accessing SharePoint Online or OneDrive for Business sites
Our users are heavily affected by this and it is becoming more than a nuisance. Our users are used to accessing their files via the File Explorer and this feature has become useless for many. This h...
The admin message is probably related to this. I have a ticket in for it too and seems like the same issue. Guess we are still waiting for a fix, but it's related to guests and people hover cards.

However, the auth prompts for file explorer are going to be unrelated.
- I can't believe the next update is now next week...
Current status: We're now deploying the fix within our internal production environment. Within approximately one week, we'll begin deploying the fix to all affected customers.

This has really been a huge embarrassment and Microsoft should be paying out every single customer as this service is not at the 99.99% uptime as promised.
Drop Box, Google Docs, Other file sharing platforms that have this feature would never ever in 1000 years be down like this for such an extended period of time.
Office 365 is not ready for the enterprise and when critical access like this is shut down for external users due to someone at Microsoft screwing up code, well, I certainly have lost all respect for this service.
Looks like we need to switch services to a more reliable file sharing platform like drop box, and simply use office 365 perhaps for email and that's it.
Microsoft cant keep their services running and this is really scary and certainly a lesson that all Business critical processes, solutions , or applications should never be run in Office 365.
