SPSS has no problem opening the .sav files from my onedrive. However, whenever I try to save changes to the data I get the following error:

SAVE OUTFILE="ONEDRIVEPTH"+ 
    "OFILEPTH/OFILENAME.sav" 
  /COMPRESSED. 
 
>Error # 61 in column 14.  Text: ONEDRIVEPTH,OFILEPTH/OFILENAME.sav 
>The filename is not valid. 
>Execution of this command stops```

I can save syntax files to the onedrive no problem. SPSS has full disk access so I don't think it is a permissions issue.

You've got the path written badly (slashes, not backslashes, missing a slash and more).

The easiest way to get it right is to use the menus to save the file, but instead of clicking save, click "paste". This will paste the right syntax for this in the syntax window. Now you can copy and edit the syntax for your needs.
