Onedrive: can't open office from 1 specific folder

[Rugbydman]

Hi
just upgraded to m2 MacBook air
onedrive worked great before on old macbook
now I can't open office files from one particular folder.
I can open a pdf. if I download drag to desktop I can open. I can access via iPad office. I can open office files from any other folder
ive reset. reinstalled.
any ideas?

Which version of MacOS? Which version of OneDrive? Which version of Office? What is the name of the folder? Can you open the files via e.g. Pages/Numbers or LibreOffice?

EDIT: besides login out and again in into OneDrive, check the permissions of the affected Office files - you should be able to read and write to this files. When in doubt, compare to the PDF you can open from the same folder.

have you enabled co-authoring/sharing (or another option) for this particular folder or the office files?



If yes, disable it, restart your machine and check again.

deactivate sharing and check wether you can open the files directly on OneDrive.
