How do I upload large files (2GB+) to SkyDrive?

14. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: SkyDrive, TrueCrypt

I have a TrueCrypt volume as a file which I uploaded to SkyDrive. This is the only file on my SkyDrive, but I would like to use my entire 7GB of space. However when I try to create a TrueCrypt volume as a file in SkyDrive, SkyDrive says it can only upload files less than 2GB. Is there a way to fix this, including possibly splitting the TrueCrypt volume into 1GB files but combined when mounted?

Is there a way to pre-encrypt files before uploading to SkyDrive?

I'm concerned about security when I back up my files to SkyDrive, and I don't need to sync them to any mobile devices. Is there a way to encrypt files on my SkyDrive before backing them up, perhaps with a password?

Cannot do anything with SkyDrive

14. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: SkyDrive

My SkyDrive has become completely useless, I cannot upload files and I cannot even modify existing files I have on the drive, including moving them and deleting them.

Does anyone have any explanation why my SkyDrive has completely ceased being useable? It's incredibly irritating since my Windows Phone now has its advantages severely limited...

No longer able to upload files

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: SkyDrive

For the past couple of weeks I've been unable to upload files to my Skydrive using the Mac app. My upload starts OK, but it's very slow, and I have to leave it running overnight or all day. When I get back, Skydrive either says it was unable to upload the file, or it says it's up-to-date, but when I go to Skydrive.com, all my folders are empty.

Uninstalling and reinstalling the app made no difference.

reusing a closed account

13. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, SkyDrive

Because of an issue with Skydrive I had to create a new user account on my computer/ a new Microsoft ID.

I was able to fix the problem with Skydrive and deleted the old user account and closed the Microsoft account.

However my new Microsoft account is on a school email address and I would really like to use the email I originally had. But when I try to create a new alias or sign up for a new Microsoft account it says that the email is already in use.

How long do I have to wait to reuse and email or is impossible?

“Drop files here” noted in UPLOAD INSTRUCTIONS AT MS

Hello, I have Windows 8 on my desktop computer and I was trying to follow the MS online instructions with regard to Uploading photos and files to SkyDrive. The steps outlined on the online 'help' are: Go to SkyDrive.com, Open the Folder to which I want to add files, Drop files here (herein lies the problem). I cannot find the words, an ICON, a command button; nothing that shows "Drop files here". I would really appreciate it if someone will assist me. Thanking you in advance, Dru

Sharing folder from SkyDrive by e-mail results in failure and return to sender

11. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: authentication failure, failure message, return to sender, SkyDrive

Hello,

I just set up an Outlook.com and SkyDrive account recently and I've been trying without ANY success to share a folder with some files in it with a friend. Every single time I've tried to send it I get a return delivery delayed error message, usually twice, and then ultimately a failure message with a copy of the e-mail I tried to send. This is a copy of one of the failure text messages I got with one of the returned e-mails:

Reporting-MTA: dns;col0-wss1-s5.col0.hotmail.com

Received-From-MTA: dns;BAY179-DS11

Arrival-Date: Wed, 9 Oct 2013 06:02:55 -0700

Final-Recipient: rfc822; *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

Action: failed

Status: 5.6.2

Diagnostic-Code: smtp;554 5.6.2 Delivery SMTP Error. Command: 3. Response: 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

. Type=1 (-956218626:896:-2147418113)

In my SkyDrive it says that my folder is indeed shared with the person whom I intended to it it with, but they never received the e-mail with the links to the folder/files. I tired sending it to two different e-mail addresses for him and both show up in my SkyDrive account under "Shared" but they never got any of the e-mails. All were returned to me!

Also, he happened to send me an unrelated e-mail and I answered it from Outlook.com and he never received it. That was returned to me as well. What the heck is going on? HELP please?

Thanks.

My university registered Skydrive account doesn’t recognise my email address

09. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: microsoft, Microsoft account, SkyDrive

I am at the University of Aberdeen and we are supposed to receive an email account and Skydrive account from Microsoft. My university email address logs me into my email account on Office 365 email but it is not recognised as a Microsoft account on Skydrive or anywhere else. We were told that Microsoft should administer us a Skydrive account (and other people at uni do have one) but I have not received one. I asked our IT services for help but they said since it is administered by Microsoft they can't do anything.
