Recently i can only Read-Only my documents for onedrive in the files APP, i cannot add new folders etc and cannot find a reason why.
My subscription to Microsoft is current and i am logged in on my device.
any ideas?
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
Thank you for your reply,
if you search for Onesrive in the AppStore you will see they have written a statement at the top of the page - this explains why the app is in a read only format (it was going to uninstall/ re-install) and stumbled across it.
Thank you for your comments,
Fixed by an app update
Hello. This has happened to me. And if I'm not mistaken it happened today. If my assessment is correct it may have happened after I overwrote some files several times on pc and kept fetching them through Goodnotes 5 (import) on the iPad over and over after each new pc upload and overwrite.
Maybe the iPad kept "arguing" with Onedrive claiming the copy it had of the file was different then the current one and Onedrive simply disabled the iPad's writing privileges as a sort of anti-spam or anti-flood measure. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else.
This is still ongoing for me. It's really disruptive because i use this method to get all my emailed blueprints into OneDrive.. i would've thought this would be back up by now.. Can't tell you how many hours i wasted trying to fix this, thinking i caused it. They should've sent out an email.
They have removed the read only marker from app store listing but it is still in read only mode for me. I've raised a support ticket with Microsoft.
I have opened a discussion with Microsoft and expressed my concern (not sure what good it will do) but thought they should know how disruptive it is and said that it should have been resolved by now.
They have said that they will keep me updated so as soon as I know anything I will put it on here ( you can also check the AppStore to see if there is an update to the App)

Hello everybody,
I have noticed the issue only one week back. I kept looking at every single thing that might have caused it. Have spoken also to Apple Support team who advised that I speak to Microsoft team. Microsoft Support team are not that responsive. Have also raised a ticket.
my understanding from the above trail is that it has not been solved yet. Anybody has any different info, please share. Also any predictions on when should the big be fixed?
This has been an issue for a few weeks and I continue to look for a solution. All is fine on the desktop but on the iPad or iPhone we cant save any files to OneDrive directly. This is a significant issue. Any ideas yet folks?
Thank you for your help 👍🏻
Huh, I see it. Here I was thinking I had caused it. Thanks, at least now I won't waste any more time trying to fix it.
Hopefully, Microsoft comes up with a solution soon; it must be a new issue when iPadOS 14.4 was released. I don't remember this ever being an issue before.
Issue remains as of April 2, 2021.
=(
mine was fixed for a short time.... and now it’s back . So darn frustrating!!!
Apple and Microsoft need to work out their issues!!
onedrive read only
