Files app not allowing to save files from whatsapp using Sharesheet to any folder on Microsoft OneDrive for iOS; subsequently native Files app stops responding.​


Uploading and Saving a pdf file FAILS with Sharesheet Print option from inside any app (like WhatsApp) to open Files app on iOS device and inside it choosing a OneDrive folder and then trying to save the file.

File upload succeeds without any problem on OneDrive app if done by directly clicking OneDrive from sharesheet (both while using Print option as well as without using Print option on sharesheet) without going through the Files app on iOS device. There is no problem either in file upload on OneDrive account using web browser. The iOS version is the latest updated, and OneDrive and WhatsApp versions are also the latest updated.

This issue has started since iOS 18.4.

Anyone else.

My guess is that the problem is with OneDrive, which I have never found to have a particularly good integration with the Files app. I gave up on it, and just use OneDrive from the share sheet instead.
