Save a Copy to OneDrive not working

Report · Jul 19, 2024

When I try to save a copy of a PDF to OneDrive, regardless of whether it's already been uploaded to Adobe Cloud storage, it won't save and says there's an error in the saving process. I really need this to work. How can I get this process functioning properly? I use Android on a Motorola phone

I have had the same issue. Normally when I create a pdf from Adobe documents I can then save a copy to Onedrive but since July I have been getting an error message which is preventing me from doing this. The only way I've found to save to one drive is by requesting the share icon at the top then send a copy to one drive. However, if I then go back in to the document on Adobe to edit it, it does not automatically update and save it in Onedrive. I have to save it all over again as a second version then delete the original one. Any advise would be appreciated as I rely on this working for my business.

Hi, I'm having the same problem, is there a way to fix this?

I can't figure out how to get around it 😞

Hi Amal,

Just so you know using the ADOBE SCAN app you can save to onedrive but not adobe reader app, so it's not a onedrive issue. I have raised this with support but they can't reproduce the error. I've uninstalled and reinstalled both apps on 2 different devices to no avail, and I have had issues with it all year.

Hi Amal,

Just noting an observation that it is not a Onedrive issue but an Adobe reader issue since the other Adobe apps work fine. When quering this issue I have been told it could be a one drive problem but then it wouldn't work with other Adobe apps, such as scan which eliminates one drive as the problem and indicates the issue is only experienced within Adobe Reader.

I have Android Version 11 with software version RZBS31.Q2-143-27-29. The Adobe Acrobat version is 24.7.0.34210

I attached screenshots of what happens but don't know how to video it. I tried sharing one of the files and it shared it to OneDrive, not the same as having a copy that you can share with others, but when I attempted to open it from OneDrive it just gave a text string (also attached). When I try to save a copy to OneDrive, it just says error saving a copy. There is no way to resolve that save error from the home/recents screen.

Hi there

Thanks for sharing the details also check If you're using the 'Copy to' option within the Acrobat Reader mobile application; try removing the OneDrive storage from the app, rebooting your device, and then adding the OneDrive storage back to the Acrobat Reader Mobile app.

Let us know how it goes.

Hi there, I contacted Adobe in March and they were unable to recreate the issue or resolve it. I have had issues since the beginning of the year, I have uninstalled both apps logged out etc, reinstalled both apps on 2 different devices and nothing works. I can save to Google Drive so now I have to copy from Google drive to one drive that's all I have been able to do. I have sent support this link so hopefully they will look into it again for us.

Saving Word files via the same method not an issue.

Microsoft saying it's not a Microsoft OneDrive issue but an Adobe one.

Only happens on mobile device.

I'm also having the same problem.

Using a Pixel 8, OneDrive & the Adobe Mobile app. I've tried removing my OneDrive and adding it again to no avail.

Report · Oct 14, 2024

Update

I switched OneDrive accounts from my Personal one to my Business one and it saves fine.

I'm going to see if there is some kind of setting in my Personal account that is blocking Adobe.

Report · Oct 23, 2024

Hi there

Thank you for the update! It's great to hear that switching to your Business OneDrive account resolved the issue. It’s possible that a setting or permission in your Personal OneDrive account might be causing the problem. You might want to check if there are any restrictions or sharing permissions that could be affecting Adobe's access. Please let us know what you find, and feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance!
