Cannot upload to shared folder on Onedrive Android App

Question

I am not able to upload to shared folders since a few days ago when there seemed to be also an update on the way the folders and files are arranged. The files are all displayed without grouping, whereas files were placed into a folder by the person sharing previously.

Now, the "+" button to upload or create folders is completely missing when I navigate to a shared folder with full edit permissions.

How can I upload files now?

Answer 1

Have the exact same issue since a couple of days. Shared folders changed to links going to the onedrive website. Unable to edit or upload in shared folders using the android app. Only through the website it is still working.

This is incredibly inconvenient and we experience this with three accounts sharing the same Family plan. I'm surprised why there are no alarmbells going off at MS

Answer 2

I am having the same issue! Highly frustrating as it defeats the purpose of the app for me in all honesty. Have ensured the app is updated as well. And still no luck.

Answer 3

The App is literally pointless if I cannot upload files to OneDrive from my phone. This has been going on for weeks now. Not good enough.

I just get a "This file could not be found" indication. Even if OD is the only app running.

Answer 4

I think Microsoft doesn't care about that issue or maybe for Microsoft this isn't an issue, it's a cut feature?

Answer 5

Hello Ryan,

Has there been an update to this? My app has updated to the latest version where the UI changed, and although the + button is visible, it won't show options to add or upload files. I cannot edit filenames either although I confirmed I have full access permissions since this only happens on the Android app; I can upload without issues through browser. This only happens on folders shared by one of my side accounts, and I am able to upload properly to folders shared by other accounts.
