Hi Everyone - this issue hit me today, in Feb 2025, some 8 or 9 months since this thread was created. How is it that MS haven't fixed this issue? Does anyone know of a fix. I want to be able to see and navigate a shared folder in File Explorer where it opens the acual Word/Excel apps, rather than the cloud/online versions.
What a disaster. Had a call with MS tech support who were clueless and didn't even seem to know this was an issue for people.

I posted related this issue one of my work account in September 2024 and also contacted customer care regarding this issue. No proper answer from their side. From Feb 26 2025, this problem occurred in all of my shared files. I don't think microsoft is taking this as a issue. Planning to change the cloud service if this issue is not resolved😬
