OneDrive Save button and Folders grayed out on iPhone but other clouds are not

Onedrive folders and Save button are grayed out on my iphone when I have tried to "Save to Files" through the Files App. The folders for some reason are showing as read only in the App as well which is quite weird.

However other cloud services such as google drive, dropbox save to iphone and the Save button are not grayed out and completely available to save too.

This was working previously but all of a sudden has stopped for no reason. I am site administrator on this account having full permissions from a microsoft end and have checked the settings in the iphone to allow access to all photos. I have not changed any settings either or read only.

    The “ad folder” icon is always great out!

    Quite true. For example, you can’t long hold on an attachment in an email because the only relevant option you get is Save to Files. You have to open the attachment so that you get the actual share button available. 

    It’s simply not integrated into iOS properly and I can see both MS and Apple pointing the finger at each other here but I suspect that it’s actually an Apple issue not supporting OneDrive correctly as the specific share to OneDrive process, as indicated above, which is implemented on iOS when one installs OneDrive, works.

    I, personally, have logged a call with Apple support and am working my way up through the ‘chain’ of support until I get to someone that understands what I’m telling them - that it is a global iOS issue that effects every single iOS device in the world (and anyone using OneDrive). I’m not exactly sure which iOS version introduced the issue, so if anyone can help me pinpoint that it could help me to get Apple to resolve this ASAP.
