A possible cause could be the write-protect ..
Share under Windows 10 if write-protected.
Allow authenticated users to make changes to the share:

- Click the "Advanced Sharing" button and agree to continue.
- Activate the "Share this folder" check box.
- Click on "Permissions" and click on "Full Control" in the "Allow" column.
An additional alternative that you might be familiar with is to download the file to the PC and then open it.
Also, if you can recommend, use OneDrive to work around such future problems.
Hope I was able to help you with this info.
