Can't edit my own document uploaded in sharepoint
rebirose Are you able to open and edit the file if you download the file on your computer? Try it just to make sure there is no problem with the file itself.
Also, make sure no one in your company changes permissions for these files. If you have access to site collection administrator account for this site, try login using that account and editing the file.
You can also raise a support ticket with Microsoft directly, follow: Get Office 365 support - online support

ganeshsanap Thank you for replying. Yes, when I download it, I can edit it. But thing is that we have multiple people who need to work together on this document and nobody can edit it, even if they are owners. As I have uploaded that file, I can't edit it as well. That's quite strange.
rebirose You can also try opening SharePoint file in the Office app instead of the browser.
Documentation: Open a OneDrive or SharePoint file in the Office app instead of the browser
Using this way, file will be stored in SharePoint and multiple users can access it.

ganeshsanap I am having this problem too. Can edit if I download them. But cannot if I open them in the word / powerpoint app directly from within teams. Then I have to download, edit, and re-upload the file.
It is like what happens with all other file types - CAD, SolidEdge etc. This has started cropping up since the last couple of months and is really annoying. Am sure I am not the only one facing this. Any buzz around the web why this is happening and how to resolve this?
