desktop app does not automatically sync files like the desktop app

I am TOTALLY IN AGREEMENT with the previous comments.

The desktop app does not automatically sync files like the desktop app.

I may be missing something in what I am doing, but if I download a file to the sky drive folder

on my laptop, I will not find the file on my desktop sky drive folder OR on my skydrive website.


Whereas in the desktop setting, anything I put in the skydrive folder would sync.......what am I doing wrong?

SkyDrive – sync a PC and a Mac

I am planning to use SkyDrive to sync files between a few PCs (Win 7 & Win8.1) and a new MacBook Pro. I have no problems with the windows machines but I am wondering what will happen with the Mac. Are there any compatibility issues? Files formats are different, AFAIK. In the past, I had problems with text files from Macs on my PC - end of line, etc., were encoded differently. I also have Maple files, etc.

Surface pro 2 – Skydrive Metro does not sync to Cloud, Need admin rights ???

Hi,

 

Started using surface pro 2 few weeks ago. Using Skydrive with same account from 2 PC and a surface pro 2 to access and sync files in cloud, but the surface pro Skydrive app gets my crazy and seem totally disconnected. It has been working fine and suddenly it stopped. Meanwhile I had installed skydrive desktop app on 2 other PC and all was fine...But now I am unable to get it to sync or do anything after several days trying. the 2 other work as expected using the Skydrive Desktop Windows 7 application installed.

- Can access and upload Skydrive folders and docs from web browser, no issues  from any PC and from Surface pro 2

- Can sync and access from Desktop app  on 2 PC running Windows 7. No issues

 - From Surface Pro 2, the Skydrive folder seems --- frozen in time, 1 week ago. No sync happening. When I try to upload a folder from the metro app it gives error message telling me I need admin rights ?!! I noticed I had installed the desktop app of skydrive on this surface , so I uninstalled as I realize this is not required, but nothing I do seem to unlock the situation. Surface pro 2 can't sync any file, folder or create  / upload anything to my skydrive account: I get the error message. Since I use same account as from the other PC...

 

From skydrive web, I see my  2 other PC, the Surface pro 2 is not listed.

 

I am looking how to debug this thing... nothing in the windows event log ... very very complicated to xshoot.

 

Any ideas welcome.

 

Thanks !

Sync office files dont work when skydrive is set to Use Office to sync files faster option

I have office 2013. There is problem with synchronizing my office and only office documents to skydrive when option Use Office to sync files faster and work on files.... is set on. 
When this option is set on and Ill copy any other than office (docx, xlsx file) into my local skydrive folder, lets say txt file it synchronized immediate without problem. But on docx files skydrive icon have status - processing changes - and nothing happens. File size is similar. When I uncheck this option, so set it off docx files are synchronized immediatelly. So wheres the problem with this option? Must something be set up in office?
Offices are connected to my skydrive account as I can see...

SkyDrive app automatically shuts down

31. July 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: , ,
Hi, I've installed SkyDrive on my main computer (desktop Mac) and upgraded to 100gb storage. I also installed skydrive on my laptop (mac book pro) so  I could sync files. It was working fine until this week - every time I open the skydrive application, to add files to my skydrive folder, change the preferences, etc the application opens for a few seconds then automatically shuts down. 
I have tried uninstalling, downloading again and installing - twice. 
Please can you help, this means I can't sync files from my laptop to skydrive.com

Thanks
