If it is anything like the door and hinges to my crawl space, the hinges are
sagging, specifically the bolts or screws holding the hinges to the various
parts. My door did that a few years ago. So I removed everything, drilled
the holes for larger galvanized lag bolts and bolted it all back together.
It was sagging again the next year in the same way, bolts in hinges. So if
anyone has a better idea, jump on into the conversation!

You could try running a small cable from corner to corner with a
turnbuckle in the middle. This will pull the door into square. If the door
is not the problem then you may need to lift one corner of the shed a
little. A wedge driven in should be enough.
