I've read a lot of people complaining Skydrive doesn't work on Windows Preview 8.1. However, I was unable to find a solution, or a problem report that describes everything I'm experiencing.
In short, I have the following SkyDrive resources:
- The SkyDrive directory on Windows Explorer
- The SkyDrive App
- Web SkyDrive
- SkyDrive for iPhone - installed for "debugging" purposes, the rest I access from the same Win 8.1 machine (build 9431)
There are some weird sync relationships. Basically, the local folder/app receive updates from the web/iphone but don't contribute:
1. iPhone and web SkyDrive appear to be in perfect sync
2. Any file/directory added through the iPhone/web version gets updated on the SkyDrive Windows Explorer directory and SkyDrive App.
3. Anything I add/change on the SkyDrive Windows Explorer directory gets updated on the SkyDrive App (and vice versa). However, it does not get updated on the web SkyDrive or the iPhone SkyDrive.
When I right-click on a file in the Windows Explorer directory that I have copied to the directory (or added through the app) and choose "Make available online-only" I receive the following error: "Element not found".
If I right-click on a file that was updated from the web/iphone version ("Make available offline" and "Make available online-only") I receive no errors.
I have run the troubleshooter, it found several corrupt files, I restarted, ran it again, found nothing substantial (display drivers issues due to custom drivers by Dell) - and it still isn't working.
I don't receive any crashes, errors, etc. I don't know where to look for log files.
I did read about someone claiming SkyDrive Pro may have caused sync issues with the "normal" SkyDrive app. Please note that it is installed on my machine as part of Office 2013.
Thanks for the help!
