1 How do I know the status of uploads to Skydrive? - In the previous version you could see the status via the notification icon.  I can't see how to do this in 8.1.  I can see the download status via the Skydrive W8.1 app, but not uploads.

2 As a test I saved a word file to a local folder synced to Skydrive.  I then checked Skydrive and the file was in the cloud almost instantly.  I then created some empty folders and they didn't appear in Skydrive.  Are they queued behind something else?  Which takes me back to my first query.  

I have also tried to set one of the empty folder in the local skydrive folder to on line only but get an error message stating the file is still uploading so something is obviously happening.

Finally, I can manually upload files from the cloud skydrive using the upload function.
