Online storage

Hi

 

I purchased 100gb or space, making a total of 107gb, but my system keeps saying I am out of space.  When I check "manage storage" it says I have 106gb of free space.  How can I fix this?  Also, how is the best way to upload folders of documents to skydrive?  I have tried and it seems to want items one document at a time?

 

Many thanks

 

If I change my default alias, will I loose the current 25GB free storage?

I was beta customers back then, so I still have the 25GB free space.  Now if I create a new alias and then switch to use the new alias as the default alias, will I loose the 25GB free storage and suddenly drop to 7GB?

Skydrive stops uploading at about 400MB out of 20GB

I have plenty of free space. I've paid for over 100GB and have over 55GB of free space in my Skydrive account. However, this is the third day in a row in which the Skydrive client has seemingly stopped uploading. It doesn't give me any errors or say it's processing changes or anything. It just stays stuck on a particular, low number, claiming it's on/uploading about 300-400MB out of over 20GB. I've left it running like that for five hours at a time with no changes. I have a good internet connection. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the client to no avail. Please advise.

PS - I am using a Lenovo N585 laptop running Windows 8.

PPS - There are no sync errors pertaining to file names containing asterisks or anything like that.

Thank you in advance for any and all help.

My 25GB free space is down to 7GB, no clue why!

SO I previously had 25GB free space on my skydrive/hotmail account, not sure why but I see its down to 7GB now! Realised only after pictures from my phone filled it up! Help anyone?

Does anyone know why Outlook 2011 filling up my hard drive?

I have recently tried yet again to sync Outlook 2011 with my iPhone and iPad and have had all sorts of problems with contacts and calendar events being deleted and/or doubled.  That's not the purpose my question.  I have a MacBook Pro with Mountain Line 1.8.2.

Before I began all of this, I had about 205GB free on my hard drive.  By the time I had various failed attempts to sync and rebuilt the Outlook database a few times, I now have about 175GB of free space.  I have installed no new software as Office 2011 Pro was already installed.

And before you ask, I deleted all the database backup and even the original as I have gone back to Entourage.  There is no data in the Office 2011 identity folder.  I rebuilt the Directory with Disk Warrior and restarted.  Still no difference to the amount of free space.  Somehow all this Outlook 2011 fiddling did was remove 25GB of free space from my hard drive.  I have looked with WhatSize and really can't see what has changed so I imagine there must be a hidden file that Outlook has written to and probably with respect to syncing but still that is a lot of disc space.

I have also deleted lots of sync .plist files etc to little avail.  But there is still some Outlook sync data some place because when I try to sync via iTunes all my Categories (changed to groups in Contacts and Calendars in iCal) are still there.

Any ideas on where the disc space may have gone?

Thanks,

Bill
