Question asked on Oct 19, 2013
Hello all,
I have updated to 8.1 today and ended up with a problem I would be very grateful if anyone could help me with:
I currently have 100gb of skydrive storage with all of my family's files on. All my family log into their own computers, and their skydrive is logged into my account, syncing selected folders for each member of family. My work around on windows 8 has been to log in to local accounts, not Microsoft accounts.
Windows 8.1 demands that each user have an individual Microsoft account so I am unable to use local accounts any more. My family are now unable to access their folders on my skydrive.
Is there any way that I can allow more than one user to access the same set of folders in the way I have been doing?
The inability to keep all my family files backed up across several devices is a real pain. I suspect microsoft haven't anticipated this problem with new integrations.
Many thanks in advance for any support,
Joe
