I posted these qs yesterday as suggested by an MVP and so far have gotten no response. There is no live support, so am trying again. Beofre I move all my small office files to cloud, I need to know what I am doing.
how the skydrive desktop tool is used
I have had discussions with an Outlook MVP who suggested that as he was not a "heavy" user I post my questions and issues on this forum. Thru happenstance the whole string got posted to another forum because it arose as an add-on to another unrelated issue.
The questions:
1. background: as an attorney, I have files set up as an e.g. as follows:
6200
6203.1
entities
pdf docs
limited partnership
document 1
document 2
2. I am moving all files to cloud (skydrive being the intended location). emails will be stored separately in office 365 "cloud."
3. The questions:
A. That whole tree above merely becomes part of a larger "root" folder--call it "skydrive" and when I complete a document or want to save one received, whether the same is a word document, a word perfect document, a pdf or some unusual extension from an architect, I merely use the "save as" option which brings up my file tree and or else a special sky drive tool perhaps which will then show me the root file and I save in much the same way as I do currently on my local drive?
B. The one variant as I understand it is that where I use word 2013 there is a skydrive option right on the menu bar?
C. With the skydrive tool, I should be as able to move documents from one skydrive subfolder as set out in tree above to another as I currently do on my local drive?
D. A third person operating from another location, given whatever password etc and also having the skydrive tool can do likewise?
E. Are there any other nuances I should know about which come to mind?
F. Restating one of the questions above in another way, do I first need to save a document (other than a Word 2013 document) on my "C" drive and then upload or does the skydrive tool take care of the save as function all in one step?
