I bought a new windows 8 computer, using a external drive I transferred the files in the skydrive folder from one of the windows 7 computers to the new computer thinking this would save time by not having to transfer them over the internet. I then downloaded The desktop app and set the folder to sync.

The new computer did still go through the sync process, when it got to about having 7 GB done of 52 GB I get a message that the skydrive folder if full. But when I go to skydrive.com it shows that I still have 5GB free.
