OneDrive - shared link - one is required to create an account first?

I don't share files often, or better, I hardly share files.

Now I shared a video.
Uploaded the video to OneDrive, right-click share, created a link, and sent it by mail to the person I wanted to share the file with (having a Gmail account)

That person tried to open the link and reported back that he should first create an account.

Huh..?

Did I overlook a step somewhere?

How to update the automatically created 'OneDrive - Personal' link to point to the correct folder

Summary:

I ran into this issue after setting up my personal OneDrive on my work machine.

My personal OneDrive is working fine BUT the automatically created "link" that appears between 'Quick access' and 'This PC' in Explorer points to the wrong location.

I can't find a well documented way of changing it.

Starting point:

• Business OneDrive is set up and pointing to 'C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive - <companyname>'.
• There is a "link" called 'OneDrive - <companyname>' in Explorer between 'Quick access' and 'This PC', that points to 'C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive - <companyname>'.

(I don't think that's relevant to the issue but I mention it just in case.)

What I did:

1. I set up my personal OneDrive on my work machine by following the instructions I found online. I used the default OneDrive folder location, 'C:\Users\<username>'. Windows created a 'OneDrive' folder in 'C:\Users\<username>' and automatically added a "link"
   called 'OneDrive - Personal' in Explorer between 'Quick access' and 'This PC' that pointed to 'C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive'.
   
   Everything was working fine but I didn't like the fact that the folder was called 'OneDrive' and not 'OneDrive - Personal'. I looked for a way of changing the folder name and didn't find one, so I decided to move the folder into a different location that included
   'Personal' instead.
2. I "unlinked" my personal OneDrive.
3. I reinstalled my personal OneDrive, this time selecting 'C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Private' as OneDrive folder location. Windows created a 'OneDrive' folder in 'C:\Users\<username>\Desktop\Private' and automatically added a "link" called 'OneDrive - Personal'
   in Explorer between 'Quick access' and 'This PC' that pointed to 'C:\Users\<username>\OneDrive'.
   
   Apart from the "link" pointing to the wrong location, my personal OneDrive works as expected.

Notes:

• I didn't restart the machine between any of the steps 1-3 above.
• I tried to restart, uninstall, restart, reinstall, restart, but the link still points to the wrong location.

Anyone knows a way of fixing this that doesn't involve regedit?
