Maybe chromebook does it differently but on macos, google won’t show the content of “shortcut” folders in the Finder app. You have to go on drive.google.com to see the files in shortcut folders (which is how shared folders show up nowadays).

I dread the day they'll finally kill the few grandfathered junctions I still have and make locally mounting the shared drive completely useless.
What does this complaint mean? You mean Drive doesn't sync down shared files for you to use offline?
On my Chromebook the integration between local files, my Drive files, and Drive files shared by others with me is completely transparent, including local caching of files I've viewed so I can access them again offline, which furthermore includes the directory listings of "shared with me" with the cached and not cached files distinguished by bold or grey names. I can also explicitly mark Drive files as available offline, if I want to manage it manually.
