Hello,
I could really use your help.
I don't speak English very well, so I'm using Google Translate to translate this message. I hope that's okay with you all.
 
I had imported my sheet music (is it the right word?) I call it songletters from Google Drive onto my iPad using the Mobile Sheets app.
Now, I have edited the  on my iPad. Since I only have 5 GB of storage on Google Drive, I would like to back up my Mobile Sheets data to my OneDrive account instead. So, I installed the OneDrive app on my iPad.
 
Now, regarding the backup process: I followed the steps, but the file isn't actually uploading. I don't know why.
 
I navigate to Settings > Backup and Restore > Backup Library, and under "Drive," I select "Local Drive." I leave the default filename as is and confirm by tapping OK. I tap OK once more. I can see my sheet music files/songletters files being compressed very quickly. Afterward, I am able to select my OneDrive account on the left, choose a specific folder, and initiate the backup. At this stage, I see a faint entry for my file labeled "Error." If I try to back it up again, a message appears after just one second stating: "Backup successfully completed. File written to [file path]."
 
What am I doing wrong? Why isn't the file uploading?

Thanks a lot for your tips!
I would generally recommend going to Settings->Backup and Restore->Backup Library, tapping the folder icon, selecting OneDrive, and then select a destination folder, as this will create the backup file and upload it to OneDrive for you. Otherwise if you tap the Local File option, create the backup file, but do not select OneDrive as the destination through Apple's file picker, as that does not seem to be working on your device for some reason. So pick a location on the iPad itself (a folder under "On my iPad". Then after the backup file is copied to that location, you can then upload the file to OneDrive using the OneDrive app outside MobileSheets.
