Hi Skydrive Team, i found a small bug.

I have noticed that when i get a notification that a file cannot be uploaded because it's file name is too long, Skydrive then logs me out and unlinks my SkyDrive. I then have to go through the process of liking  it again.

The solution is easy, just shorten a folder or file name until it an acceptable size. It's just annoying at first when moving a lot of files to skydrive and many of them hit the limit - it happens per file.
