If these methods do not work, OneDrive files can still be accessed from different locations, including phone, tablet and online. Any single file from the OneDrive folder can be copied and pasted onto the desktopand opened from there.
I tried this potential solution And I couldnt get it to work. The fact that Microsoft said it would provide a future solution when I can't even save a file right now is incredulous. I now have to save it in google docs and makes me rhink about using it more while evaluating to move my company off of Office.
