You could have a blockage in the drain or pipe, this is found on the right side, assuming left hand drive,passenger side on the sidewall under the carpet.
You will have to remove the kick panel to gain access and pul back the carpet. Move the front seat as far back as it will go, it just makes the contorting easier.

The other possibility is the sunroof drains could be blocked. There are some posts here on how to unblock the drains and make suitable "repairs" to resolve the issue.

You likely have a lot of water under and in the foam blocks that raise the floor level on XC90 models. If you open doors, latch all door latches with screw driver, and then set fans (in sunlight) all day you should get it dried without too much work.
I agree with A/C drain being plugged.
