I am having problems with shared folders in OneDrive. They are showing up as internet shortcuts only, I used to have them in File Explorer as a folder that I would click on to access content of that shared folder.

    Hi @Ajay Jain,

    I understand the issue you're facing with the OneNote shared folders shortcuts.

    This is a known issue and Microsoft OneDrive developer team is working on resolving it. The .url internet shortcuts will automatically convert back to a folder when the issue is resolved. 

    As a workaround, you can go to web to access the shared folder.
