Dear Miloš10

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

Many customers around the world have reported the same issue as you described, which is presumably a popular issue these days.

1-> The reported issues are mainly:

Shared folder visibility: users can view shared folders in a web browser, but they show up as linked files (.URL) for open

2-> Last Updated:

This issue may be caused by an internal bug affecting OneDrive synchronization and data control.Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and is actively working to resolve it.

Efforts are underway to restore proper access to the affected shared folders. Initial steps include investigating the root cause of the issue and implementing fixes to ensure that the shared folder displays correctly as a folder in File Explorer.

A thorough analysis is performed to determine the exact cause of the issue. Initial results indicate that there may be a configuration error or recent update that is affecting the synchronization and processing of shared folders.

3- > Current Status:

Microsoft's internal engineers are closely monitoring the service and deploying patches to ensure that shared folders are stable and properly synchronized.

We fully understand the inconvenience and disruption caused by this issue. Our team is actively working on this issue and is working to resolve it as quickly as possible.
