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

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

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?

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 am searching for an answer to the same issue and coming across this forum i see that you say they were looking for a fix for it? but this was in 2015 and it is now 2018.... so im guessing theres no way to fix it??

I’ve found no solution. Changing the properties of all documents achieves nothing except maybe temporarily. My son has the same issue. It’s a quirk of OneDrive and MS Word, I suspect, and one that Microsoft aren’t bothered about.
