I was very excited about the integrated SkyDrive folder in Windows 8.1 until I found out it won't upload any files for me. It sees my online files with no problem, and can accurately show what is currently on my SkyDrive. However, I have not been able to upload a single file using the desktop integration in Windows Explorer. It was suggested to right-click the SkyDrive icon and select "Make available offline" which downloaded all my cloud files to my local computer, but did not allow me to upload files even when it finished syncing. I am trying to upload files by dragging them from a folder on my hard drive to any folder in SkyDrive. The file just sits there and does nothing. The availability says "Available offline". I right-clicked one of the files I was trying to upload and clicked "Make available online only", thinking that would force the upload, and I got this error message:

Of course, I did try waiting several hours and trying again, but a 1MB file shouldn't take that long anyways.

No matter which file I try, to which SkyDrive folder, nothing will show up when I log into SkyDrive through the browser.

Specs:

Windows 8.1 x64

Intel i7 3930k

Biostar TPower x79

32 GB RAM

128 GB SSD

As a side note, I am running Windows 8.1 RT on my Surface RT, and this all works fine using the same Microsoft account. Maybe this is an issue with 8.1 x64?

Please help as I use SkyDrive almost every day!

Sincerely,

Mitchell B
