Adding files to a folder shared with me

If a OneDrive folder has been shared with me by someone else and they have given me editing rights, am I able to add files to this folder since I am not the owner?

office 365
OneDrive for Business

    Yes. If folder has been shared with you in edit mode you should be able to add files even if you are not the owner. You can either add the files by mapping this shared folder locally or by navigation to OneDrive site and go to shared with me section.

      jab365cloud  Thank you. Currently, I can edit files in a folder that was shared with me, but I am unable to make a copy of a file or add other files to the folder that was shared with me. I'll have to see if this is the case when someone else shares a folder with me that I can "edit."
