Skydrive document folder wont show files

03. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,

I am running Windows 8.1 and I recently I noticed that upon clicking the documents folder under SkyDrive in  File Explorer I cannot view any folders or files, only the vertical and horizontal scroll bars flash, along with the selectors for viewing a list or thumbnails at the bottom right of the window. The strange thing is, if I click the arrow next to the document folder under SkyDrive in File Explorer it shows me a list of all folders on SkyDrive, but not any single documents. I tested to see if placing all my single documents into a folder of any name would work, and it did! I was then able to select the document folder and view all of my folders on SkyDrive in the explorer window. Then I decided to make a new document folder on SkyDrive and moving all my current folders and single documents to this new folder, it did not work, I had the same problem. It seems the only way to see my documents this way is to make sure all of my documents are in folders. What is really strange is that if I place my SkyDrive documents folder into the documents library I can view both folders and all of my single documents without a problem.

This looks like a bug in the built in SkyDrive in Windows 8.1 If anyone knows a fix for this please let me know, as this is very frustrating.

All files disapeared from a document folder and its 2 sub-folders while I was trying to attache a document to a new message in Outlook webmail. The folder was on my desktop. I opened edit to try "undo" but it was inactive. I tried chkdsk on the c: drive and some errors where found but no trace of my files. The folder in question and all its 2 sub-folders were wiped out even if they were read only. I tried running chkdsk /r at start-up but it did not help. What could have happened?

Everytime I try to attach a document to an email go to attachments it takes me to the finder, I select documents but instead of opening documents it downloads the whole document folder.  It gives me no option to select any file.  What is going on?  Please help.
