Local machine Skydrive Sync protection/retention policies?

14. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
Is there any flexibility with Skydrive shared folders setup on local machines to sync bi-directional BUT with permissions setup that restricts a local machine/user from syncing file/folder deletion request to the cloud?

I wrote a quick time management database (MS Access) for my wife who is a school teacher to help with student attendance but i need a way to backup local db tables in case one of their students decides to tamper with the hidden/pw protected files on the computer terminal.   Some of the other teachers aren't too bright either.  

Was just thinking i might use local folder sync to send a really small mdb (ie. 5mb normalized data) to Skydrive, but have a minor retention policy in place to prevent deleting from cloud storage.  Is that possible or asking too much?

It was only a favor for my wife's school and i dont have enough time to invest much more cycles on this.

changes not saved in SkyDrive

SkyDrive didn't save anything I worked on (luckily it was a small project). I saved the Doc (using the Web App) did some work and downloaded the file for safe keeping. When I went back a few hours later both the Web and Local doc were completely blank.

I am a new user to both Windows 8 and SkyDrive and this did not fill me with confidence. I have done a few test files and they seem to be fine so this is very odd indeed.

Why the entire Skydrive shows on Favorites on IE11

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
I moved my Favorites folder to Skydrive and somehow now on IE11 Favorites all my folders on Skydrive show there, not just my Favorites folder.  What happened?  It seems like IE11 now thinks that Skydrive is the location of my favorites and that is not what I want.  Is there a way to tell IE11 where the favorites folder is located?

Cannot upload photos to SkyDrive

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
Hi there, I can see there are a lot of people with the same problem as me. Usually never have a problem with SkyDrive uploading photos and documents. This started yesterday when I noticed that my latest 4 photos hadn't been uploaded and it stuck on "processing changes". This morning it was still stuck there so I uninstalled SkyDrive and downloaded the latest version but the problem persisted. However, I did notice that it still showed my existing files were synchronised. I would appreciate any help in this matter. Thanks, Peter. 
My computer details are as follows:
HP G62 Notebook PC, Windows Pro 64 bit, Intel(R) Core i3 CPU M370 2.4 Ghz, 4 GB RAM

Skydrive Shared Link doesn’t work anymore

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: , ,
Dear Community,

I recently shared a folder, for which I created a shortened link on skydrive.
I transformed this link into a QR Code to easily share it with others. Unfortunately, this link does not work anymore - it used to work at the time I created it. Skydrive says the element has either been moved, deleted or the respective person (even me the owner) has not the right to see it.

My question is, hoe to make that link work again, as I already created and distributed the QR code.

Thanks
Robert

skydrive re upload files

13. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Uncategorized · Tags: ,
My Skydrive on 8.1 is now uploading 40GB of data, will probably be finished in a month!!

I had 2 partitions on my hard drive, one with Windows 7 and the other had all my SkyDrive folders synced with the desktop program that can be used with Windows 7.

I then wiped Win7 and installed Win8.1. I changed the location of the Skydrive folder to point to where the Skydrive folder was on the other partition that was in sync with my skydrive from the desktop skydrive program installed on Win7. Despite all the files being the same it is uploading all my files again!!

Anyone have any ideas how to stop this? I can't hardly use my computer because it's slowing it down and the internet!

With the old SkyDrive program on Windows 7 if the files were the same it wouldn't upload or download them but it doesn't seem to be the same with Windows 8.1.

SkyDrive on Mavericks continuously trying to upload the same files, numerous other issues

Since upgrading to Mac OS 10.9 (Mavericks) I've had nothing but problems from SkyDrive. I've tried completely removing it, including the Library/Containers items. At the moment it appears to be constantly trying to upload two files, it is persistently showing network activity. In the last three hours it has uploaded 87.4MB and downloaded 485MB (which is more than the entire contents of my SkyDrive folder) and it is showing no times of stopping.

Before the last delete and re-install of SkyDrive 17.0, I was seeing activity information as shown in the attached image. At present it continually shows "Updating 2 files" and "Uploading 0KB of 14KB".

At the moment it is unusable. Any assistance would be gratefully appreciated!

SkyDrive Immediately crashes when I attempt to run it.

  After running windows update and getting These Updates:

Internet Explorer 11 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems
Installation date: ‎11/‎11/‎2013 13:35

Definition Update for Microsoft Security Essentials - KB2310138 (Definition 1.161.1874.0)
Installation date: ‎11/‎11/‎2013 13:35

  My computer had me restart to finish installing updates. Once I'd done that, SkyDrive crashes on start up. I tried uninstalling and re-installing it... but even the installer crashes. ;?
