My last thought is a manual solution so that you are also compliant with your company regulations. A USB stick from home with the files you want to edit at work and back at home with the stick to overwrite the existing files in your OneDrive.
It is tedious, but bypassing all possible regulations that are on your way. At the same time you are on the safe side that you are not breaking any company rules.
It's just a thought 🙂

Sorry that I took your time and couldn't give you a quick solution.
Wish you a nice day.

- NikolinoDENov 03, 2020Platinum ContributorSorry for misunderstanding me, didn't say you wanted to break the rules. I just said that you are on the safe side and that you can keep the rules safely.
Anyway, my mistake if it's gotten wrong.
Must improve my english to avoid misunderstandings.
I wish you a nice day and much success for a solution of your project.
