SharePoint Shortcut showing no Content

Hi mkjit256​,

That extra URL helps quite a lot.

I would not move the files into Shared Documents yet. Microsoft's current OneDrive/SharePoint shortcut documentation does not state that shortcuts are limited to the default Documents library. In fact, Microsoft recommends creating the shortcut at the most specific folder level rather than at the document-library root.

From the URL you posted, it looks like:

• BIA is the SharePoint site
• Operations is the display name of the document library
• Ops is probably the library's internal URL name
• PowerBI Data/Output is the folder you actually want

So the target path appears to be something like:

/sites/BIA/Ops/PowerBI Data/Output

The fact that the Fabric picker only exposes Shared Documents therefore looks more like a library-enumeration issue than proof that your custom library is unsupported.

One useful isolation test would be to create a fresh connection against the exact site URL:

https://companyname.sharepoint.com/sites/BIA

using the same organizational account that can browse the Ops library in SharePoint, then check whether Ops appears in the shortcut browser.

If it still only shows Shared Documents, I would capture that as the repro.

There is also a OneLake Shortcuts REST API where a SharePoint shortcut is represented by a location and subpath. That may be worth testing as a workaround because the API lets you specify the SharePoint subpath directly rather than relying on the folder picker.

I would use the library's URL/internal name (Ops) rather than its display name (Operations) when testing the path.

Also confirm that BIA is a normal SharePoint site rather than a subsite or hub site, because Microsoft currently lists SharePoint subsites and hub sites as unsupported for OneLake shortcuts.
