Hi:

I'm trying to use SkyDrive on an iMac running OS X 10.8.5 but SkyDrive will not automatically upload any files.

If I save a file directly into my SkyDrive folder, it does not upload. If I save a file elsewhere and then move it into my SkyDrive folder, it does not upload.

No files at all are uploaded automatically from the computer to SkyDrive.

However, if I drag and drop a file onto SkyDrive,com (using Safari), the file shows up on SkyDrive.com and then properly syncs down to the computer.

If, on SkyDrive.com, I click the "Upload File" link and select a file, the file shows up on SkyDrive.com and then property syncs down to the computer.

If, using Office Mobile, I create a new document, the file shows up on SkyDrive.com and then properly syncs down to the computer.

So, the computer can obviously communicate with SkyDrive and can even upload if I force the upload, it just will not do so automatically. This rather obviously defeats the purpose of the app.

I've unlinked and re-linked SkyDrive. I've unlinked, deleted, and reinstalled SkyDrive. SkyDrive says it is up to date. SkyDrive displays no errors. SkyDrive will not automatically upload either from its root folder or from a subfolder. File names are short and contain no odd characters or even spaces. The files are just Office documents. 

When I check the logs, it *appears* that the SkyDrive client can't connect (which seems odd to me, given that I can force an upload and it works just fine). The items written to the log while I composed this post are:

Any help would be appreciated as this is frustrating beyond all belief. Dropbox just works; it seems like SkyDrive should, too.

Thanks,
Mark
