Upload Blocked: We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions to upload the file
For the last several days, I have had this message in Word/Excel/PowerPoint when I have been editing files that are synced to my machine using OneDrive for Business.
It also appears when I open a file direct from Word Online, SharePoint Online or Teams.
I have tried stopping the OneDrive sync, removing the files and then re-syncing, but I still get the same message.
My files that are stored in OneDrive for Business and not in SharePoint Online are fine and can be edited and synced as expected.
I am using Windows 10 Pro Build 1803
Any suggestions would be very welcome

- 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 assistants 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?!

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.
I'd love to solve this problem. I too experience this error when editing a SharePoint file that is also stored through the One Drive utility
