Read-only for ios "files"
Hi, for my business account, it always shows "read-only" like the below snap. But for other locations, iphone or ipad, it works fine. Please, any help?~ masters~
This can be solved using below method:
- Save any document to your ios device For example "On My iPhone"
- Then go to that document where you saved it.
- Click on share that document
- Select OneDrive and then save to any particular location to your OneDrive
- Click "Upload Here"
Document will be saved to your OneDrive Location without any issues. Hope this will resolve the issue.

- thank you for the workaround, we really just want to use the drive directly. I have too many files and when you start duplicating in multiple places sometimes you update the wrong one by mistake the recent lists are all messed up and the list goes on and on. Just this weekend I had my finance workbook go un-updatable when using ipad and the mac , i had to save a copy of it. something funny is going on and it should work like any other cloud drive. I wish we didn’t have to pay for it when it didnt operate like it should , wouldn’t that be something.
- Just received an update today and this is finally fixed. Update your OneDrive app and you’ll be able to write, add, change anything again on the iOS Files App with OneDrive account. Finally Microsoft, finally.
- great news, i updated the app and mine is working too. thanks everybody
- does anybody know how to upgrade this discussion to a microsoft incident or get them to look at it?
- Nope, that's not FIX, that's a workaround which is a pain in the rear to do regularly, as well as being a security hole (transferring work documents to a personal storage area). Thanks for at least pointing it out as a possibility but Microsoft needs to (work with Apple to) fix this ASAP.
- I agree. This continues to reduce adoption of OneDrive and M365 for our users since this works in the iOS Files for other competitive products like Dropbox. 🤨
