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.

Twice now a VS2008 project I've stored and used on skydrive has been corrupted beyond use.  The first time it lost virtually the project files.  I restored it from a backup I had and it has again after some days of use lost a critical file rendering the project unusable.  Just to make clear I did no lose changes but whole files.  I was using my Surface PRO.  I can only assume skydrive is not all that reliable.

Steps:

Load and run Windows 8, with Skydrive loaded and run for 8 months no problems.

Upgrade to Windows 8.1 from Play store.

Start Windows explorer in Desktop view.

Navigate to a file (within a skydrive folder) and right click/copy.

Navigate to somewhere else and right click to paste


Result:

Explorer closes and returns you to desktop.


Expected:

Can right click and paste within Skydrive.


More Steps:

Open Windows explorer in Desktop.

Right click on Skydrive root folder.


Result:

Explorer closes and returns you to desktop after a few seconds stall.


Expected:

You can right click on Skydrive root folder without having crash.


Seriously, did anybody test this?


I have been recently using the Android version of OneNote, earlier today I was having syncing issues, and now it turns out I cannot find my Lecture Notes anywhere on the SkyDrive or phone is there any way OneNote has a local save on my phone? or anyway to retrieve my notes from SkyDrive?

Please and Thanks in advance

so no more Skydrive integration on Windows 8.1 unless one login with a Microsoft account??? Really???  this must be the stupidest decision ever.... how people that work in an office where user names are governed by a domain server, or people that has being using Skydrive since day one like me using local accounts are going to keep using it? I need to keep my current user name and password so I can keep connecting with the rest of the machines in my home and my office, I do not want to have to redo all my network because you want me to login with your account... you just made Skydrive unusable for a lot of people like me....  I'm going to kill my subscription as soon as I find a replacement, which by the way, are many and they do not force you to use weird logins....   I'm really tired of Microsoft doing these stupid things...

Thanks for complicating things without a reason....
Sorry, something went wrong.  Please try again.  If you keep seeing this message go to Service Status to check if there's a problem with SkyDrive.  The service status check shows OK.  I do not Sync or Share.  This is strictly to store a few files.
I sent myself a skydrive of a few videos for a class assignment that I needed to upload. Skydrive has been continuously sending me this email though with the five files about 20 times a day since I emailed myself with the file. Please help me make it stop.
