Hello CraigLong!

Thanks for coming in my support but I did not find your idea workable. I have all permission to access the web version for mentioned OneDrive folder still unable to add shared folder to File explorer's quick access. Would like to note your different idea if any.

Hello Ajay Yadav,
I am Jaspreet Singh an independent advisor.
Onedrive personal doesnot have the option to add the shared folder directly into file explorer.

When someone shares a folder with you, it appears in the Shared section of your OneDrive.com. If you have Edit permissions to those shared folders, you can add them to the My files section of your OneDrive to make them easier to access and work with....

I can't give you advice on business accounts. I have Microsoft 365 Family.

You can't add a shared folder to quick access until you first add the shared folder to your OneDrive. It has to download to your computer as an available file or as a File On-Demand cloud file.

By default, File Explorer opens to Quick Access. You can set a folder to show up in Quick access so it'll be easy to find. Just right-click it and select Pin to Quick access. Unpin it when you don’t need it there
