Local File sync to Skydrive?

Hello, I am a recent office 365 subscriber and have downloaded the Skydrive app for my Mac. I moved all of my document folders from the Finder onto Skydrive, only to then see that I had physically moved the documents to the app rather than synced them. Is this how Skydrive works? Or is there a way to have both a physical set of documents in the finder on my mac and in Skydrive, synced together? Thoughts?

Copying e-mails or attachments from Outlook to Document folders

On my previous computer (Windows Vista) I was able to copy or drag and drop e-mails and/or attachments from Outlook into my Document folders. I cannot seem to do this with Windows 8.1. Is anyone able to solve this problem?

Do I now use SkyDrive folder to Open & Save all my files?

I have been fussing with SkyDrive for several days. About at my wit’s end -- this should be simple, but ......


I have a desktop PC under Windows 7, and wife just bought a Surface Pro under Windows 8.


Our files are on the desktop.  I selected several important document folders and picture folders and copied them to the SkyDrive folder on my desktop.  I have changed a couple of Excel spreadsheets using files from their normal location on my PC.  Should I instead Open them from the desktop SkyDrive folder and Save them there also after updates are made?  Will that sync the changes from my desktop SkyDrive folder into my regular folders on my PC?  Also, even though I installed the SkyDrive app on my wife's Surface Pro, only the Pictures folder shows on her SkyDrive folder.  Why didn't mine sync to her tablet?
