I like SkyDrive, but there are a few minor quirks that I can't seem to figure out.

I develop software using Visual Studio, and I like to keep my projects in my SkyDrive folder so that I can access them from any of my development PCs.

Many of these projects include installers, so the "bin" and "obj" folders will contain large executable installers (sometimes they also include the .NET Framework, if the project has been set up this way).

Obviously, this can eat away at SkyDrive space very fast!

Also, it is unnecessary and a potential security risk. If PC1 happened to have a virus and built an executable, that virus just might work its way onto PC2. This is not a very common issue, but it does happen.

I often go in on each PC and tell SkyDrive NOT to link in my "bin" and "obj" folders, but I still get issues like the one shown below that is complaining about a duplicate folder already on my SkyDrive account.

Has anyone found a way to configure SkyDrive to always exclude certain folders or certain file types?
