Description
The issue I am experiencing is that when I try to access OneDrive files shared from the mac user folder to the Windows 11 ARM virtual machine, one of the OneDrive folders is showing as blank, as per the attached screenshot. There are files and folders in this OneDrive account, and the files in this OneDrive account are accessible in macOS Finder.
There are three OneDrive folders in the user folder. Three OneDrive folders correspond with one personal OneDrive account and two separate Business OneDrive accounts. The files in one of the Business OneDrive accounts are showing up correctly.
This issue was evident from version 3 UTMs and continues to exist in UTM version 4.
I also tried Parallels, the files and folders in this same OneDrive account that has the noted issue show up correctly in File Explorer in the Parallels virtual machine. (Parallels version 18)
I read online that the issue might be SharePoint related. Howeverwever, it does not explain why files in one of the Business OneDrive accounts are showing correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions? Thanks in advance.
**Configuration**
* UTM Version: 4.01(60)
* macOS Version: 12.5
* Mac Chip (Intel, M1, ...): M1

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with a Windows 11 ARM virtual machine in UTM 4.01(60), a shared macOS user folder, and the affected Business OneDrive account. Compare the blank folder with the working OneDrive account, macOS Finder, and Parallels; done means identifying the cause and making the affected files visible without regressing the working account.
