Add shortcuts to shared folders in OneDrive

When someone shares a folder in Microsoft OneDrive, SharePoint, or Teams, you can add a shortcut to the shared folder in your OneDrive to easily find and work with the files.

• In OneDrive, in the navigation pane, select Shared
• On the top bar you have choices of Shared files – With You or By You
• Choose With You

• Click the folder you want to share and click on the …(3) dots
• Choose Add Shortcut
• Choose Add Shortcut

Go back to My file

You will see your shared file in your My Files

Tips:

• In a shared library in SharePoint or Microsoft Teams, you can select Add shortcut to My files to add a shortcut to the entire library, or select the specific folder you want to add, and then select Add shortcut to My files.

Important: The Add shortcut to My files option isn’t available when:

• You’ve already added the folder to your OneDrive, or you have more than one folder selected. (You can’t add multiple folders at the same time.)
• The item you’re trying to add isn’t a folder. (Add shortcut to My files isn’t available for individual files or for collections of files such as albums.)
