Skydrive wont work since upgrading to Win 8.1

Can somebody please help. I have a 200Gb Skydrive account, used for online backup of multiple file types and since upgrading to Win8.1 I cant get it to work (it worked Ok on Win8 desktop app).


All attempts keep directing me towards office365 and/or sharepoint locations. I don't have an office365 account, I simply want to use it for online backup and not necessarily within Office.

Problems automatically uploading

I have a skydrive account that is set up to automatically sync and upload documents from my hard drive when any changes are made - acting as an online backup.  This worked for a few months but recently the system has stopped uploading pdfs, autocad files, jpegs etc.  It does still sync and upload microsoft office files.  I have office 365 and skydrive is part of that package.  Also I am working on windows 7.

What can I do to resolve the problem?
