Microsoft has warned against using drive letter mapping workarounds. You're going to end up corrupting and losing data by working around the sync client controls on acceptable path strings. I have seen this in the field. Cloud storage paths are more limited than desktop or local server paths. They have to work across every user platform they are running on.

Thankyou but unfortunately we don't have Office365 yet. Is there any other way to create shortcuts without 365 to the OneDrive for Business?
- There is nothing I can suggest that wouldn't lead to creating a security or data corruption mess. You work around cloud sync mechanisms at your peril.
