Hello,


I'm on a Surface Pro with the Win 8.1 preview using Office 365 Home Premium. Anytime I create a Word document and perform a "Save As" command and choose my Skydrive folder, the resulting file never syncs.  The upload center from the notifications state that no files are pending; yet if I choose the Skydrive app from the start screen it lists the file as "Pending" but the status never changes and the file never syncs.


However, if I "save as" a file from Word somewhere else (ie, the desktop), and then manually drag the file into the Skydrive folder, it syncs instantly.


Any thoughts? It seems as if there's a bug in that Skydrive isn't correctly recognizing that there's a new file if it gets saved directly from Word. For that matter, the same thing happens from Excel. To add insult to injury, if I perform a "Save As" from a non-MS program (like Photoshop), and choose my Skydrive folder, it syncs correctly.


As additional info for troubleshooting: using the Task manager, if I end the processes of both "SkyDrive" and "Microsoft SkyDrive", then relaunch the SkyDrive app from the Start screen, everything that was stuck on "pending" suddenly uploads correctly.


Any help would be appreciated.


Thanks!
