Upload Blocked: We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file
This message is on all my word documents.
It usually happens when one is logged in Windows with different Microsoft account and in OneDrive with another Microsoft Account.
Try to use same Microsoft account in Windows login, Microsoft Office and One Drive.
It solved the issue at our end.

ArchnaSingh I am using the feature of having syncing OneDrive files from two different microsoft office accounts. (OneDrive properties, Settings, Accounts, Add Account, Add second account) so switching accounts won't work in my situation.

We are also having this same issue: we have an office computer with the main office account signed into windows, but the apps have our assistance work account logged in. Microsoft basically says that we need to allow our work computer to be logged into their work account a crossed the board to allow access. This doesn’t make sense. Why would we allow a complete work computer backup to an employee account? Like are they saying businesses a crossed the globe are trusting this with their employees? This cannot be the case?!
