Onedrive Excel error message- cannot merge changes made by another user

Hello,

I'm building an automated flow that takes the content of an Outlook email and inputs it into Excel. Right now my flow is to take the new email, run it through HTML to text, and then add a new row into an Excel table with the content from the email.

I have had the issue seemingly randomly a few times now where, when testing my flow, my flow does not run and I get the error message "Your file [file name.xlsx] wasn't uploaded because we cannot merge changes made by another user" as a pop-up on Excel. I'm currently the only one with access to the Excel sheet, although this will change soon as I integrate the flow into my team.

My Excel sheet is stored in OneDrive because Power Automate said I had to do so when I was creating my flow. My company stores files on the server's network on a file share folder (I don't know much about it or the right terms to use, I'm not IT) so this may be the issue. But any help would be super appreciated!
