OneDrive sharing issue - two versions of the same file
Since it's my first post in here I'd like to say - Hi Everyone :) I have a file in OneDrive for Business that is shared between two people. They are in the same room, first person edits and save ...
- Here is the setting I'm talking about, it goes hand in hand with preventing conflicts.

What version of onedrive client do you have? If you still have the old one you will def. run into issues but the new client should open the files from the web by default and not locally so it shouldn’t matter if they sync has happened or not. There is an option as well to overwrite this in the settings on new client that could be off but let us k ow what your using first.
Thanks Chris for the tip !
I have updated OneDrive to the lastest version (using online o365 installer) and after a few days we will see if that solved the problem.

I will try just updating office and if the problem will persist then I will go with switching off the setting you mentioned.
Hey Wojciech_Bogacz , stumbled back across this article, never heard back, did you have any luck?
- Also make sure you don’t have any old office clients as well on one end since they can’t coauthor they could lock the files as well but seems like someone just has their onedrives set to open files locally which will cause this. Soon as I get to a computer I’ll share the setting I’m talking about.
