OK, I've read a lot of comment about Skydrive synch and none seem to address my simple problem.

I have two computers - a windows 8.1 desktop and a windows vista laptop.  I have skydrive installed on each  box.  I've been using it successfully for months - until I updated to 8.1.

Here's what I expect:  when I update a file on either computer, I expect that updated file to appear on the other computer.  Pretty simply - and it has always worked that way.  Now, with the 8.1 update, the data doesn't transfer from one to the other.  In additon, when I update a file on the W8.1 computer, the update doesn't appear on the web version of skydrive. 

Something appears to have changed under W8.1 and it doesn't appear to have changed for the best.

Do I have to return to Google drive to get the rather simple functionality that I've experienced with Skydrive but thqt has disappeared???
