Why are my onedrive documents opening in read-only mode after installing office 365 home edition?

Find Onedrive folder in C:\Users\owner

Right click and select properties.

Under the general tab uncheck the "Read only" box

This worked for me

I'm having exactly the same problem. Yet again this morning I open a word doc on my local copy of onedrive and when I come to save it Word refuses with a 'read only' error. I check the attributes and sure enough the read-only flag is set again. I unset it and save the file which then works.

i *keep* having to do this and it's driving me mad. Given that solutions such as google drive and dropbox can do this without issue or error, why is Microsoft's solution so flakey?

Thanks! I've done this but have to keep re-doing this from time to time.

like Becky below,

I selected the folder,

right clicked properties,

deselected read only,

hit save,

then told selected to have it apply setting to all items in folders and subfolders

worked after that

Mitigation 1: Disable "Use Office 2016 to merge changes or keep both copies" option in OneDrive. This mitigation is not preferred in our environment as it restricts sharing and

collaboration in Office 2016.

Mitigation 2: Enable "Delete files from the Office Document Cache when they are closed" option in the Microsoft Office Upload Center Settings. This mitigation in our environment is preferred but results in slower file opening and closing and increased network use.

Mitigation 3: Pause Onedrive when the file is opened and edited, after editing has finished Unpause synching.
