Hello Tim,

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

You can upload files to a OneDrive folder shared with you if the owner of the shared folder has granted you the appropriate permissions. The steps are as follows:

1. Sign in to OneDrive:

Open the OneDrive website (onedrive.com) and sign in with your Microsoft account.

2. Access the shared folder:

In the left navigation bar, click "Shared" to find the folder you are sharing.
Click on the shared folder to open it.

3. Upload files:

Once the shared folder is open, you can drag and drop files into the folder, or click the "Upload" button at the top of the page to select files or folders to upload.

If the owner of the shared folder has not granted you editing or uploading privileges, you will not be able to upload files to the folder. In this case, you will need to contact the folder owner to request the appropriate permissions.

Please feel free to let us know if you have any further questions.

Best regards,
