How to Resolve the Annoying "UPLOAD BLOCKED We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions" One Drive Problem

This is an incredibly frustrating and annoying issue, especially when the files are your own and OneDrive refuses to sync them- I hear you. 

If you're encountering the "UPLOAD BLOCKED: We couldn't verify you have the necessary permissions" error while syncing files with OneDrive, here's a step-by-step guide to resolve it.

Check File Permissions:

  • Go to the OneDrive web interface (onedrive.live.com).
  • Navigate to the folder where you are encountering this issue.
  • Right-click on the file in question and select "More actions" or "Manage access."
  • Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and edit the file. You should be the owner or have at least "Edit" permissions.
Once you have made these changes, the files should start to upload and sync. It took me a while to find this solution, so I hope this post saves many of you a lot of time.
