Onedrive Excel Online help please

I am using an iPhone.

I have a friend who stores an "Excel Online" file in Onedrive.

He sends me a "read / write" link to that file.

When I click that link there should be a "Edit in Browser" icon on that page so that I can "edit" the file. But when I click on that link, I can only "read" that "Excel Online" file. The "Edit in Browser" is not there.

Any idea?

Numbers file opening as view only I am working on my ipad air 4th gen in Numbers. I started with an excel file, converted it to a numbers file and have edited that file multiple times using my ipad. The file is saved on OneDrive and previously I could open it from Numbers, edit it and then when it closed it autosaved on OneDrive. Now when I select OneDrive as a location in numbers it shows the folders I have and at the bottom says Read only. When I open the numbers files that previously had been fine it now says they are read only. I have not changed any permission settings anywhere. I can go to the OneDrive app, select the file and then use "open in another app" to open it in Numbers. I can then edit the file but it is autosaving to the iCloudDrive. I can download the file on my mac laptop from OneDrive and edit it in Numbers there but I really want to use the ipad so I can use the Apple Pencil. Any help would be much appreciated.

Microsoft Office apps for iOS does not correctly save the new documents through Files app of iOS and iPadOS to online storage like OneDrive. Microsoft Office apps for iOS does not correctly save the new documents through Files app of iOS and iPadOS to online storage like OneDrive. When a new document created in Microsoft Office for iOS is saved using the Files app for iOS and iPadOS to online storage accounts like in OneDrive account, the document file does not get saved correctly. On the same device where it was created, the saved document shows zero KB size, while on any other device connected to the same OneDrive account, the saved document does not even gets listed. However, if the newly created document file is saved without using the files app by using the OneDrive account directly from the options in Microsoft office app for iOS, the document file gets saved properly and is also displayed on all the connected devices. This erratic behaviour occurs on all iOS and iPadOS devices and using different OneDrive accounts. Thus the problem is not due to the device particular but is a bug in Microsoft Office for iOS which prevents it to connect to iOS Files App correctly. This same erratic behaviour also occurs with individual apps viz. Microsoft word, Microsoft Excel etc for iOS and iPadOS..
