Just got a new HP Splitx2, running Windows 8.  Uploaded all my docs and some photos to SkyDrive by dragging & dropping them into Skydrive folder. All went fine, although it took more than 24 hours for photos to upload. OK. Went to upload additional photo files and noticed they did not automatically begin to upload to the cloud, as the previous ones had. In other words, I was able to drag & drop them into Skydrive folder, but then nothing happens.  They do not show up in the Skydrive App with my previously uploaded photos. Then, I noticed I could no longer find the Skydrive icon on my desktop toolbar.  I clicked Hidden Icons and it's no longer there!

 

1) Why didn't additional photo files upload to cloud as previous ones did?

2) Why did icon disappear?

3) Is any of this due to fact that I may have previously uploaded 7 MB?

4) If so, shouldn't there be some kind of notification vs. just making the icon disappear and still allowing me to drag things into the Skydrive folder?

5) If so, is there a way to buy more storage?
