Multiple SkyDrive folders not linking. Making MyDocuments the SkyDrive

08. November 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags:
There are multiple SkyDrive folders on my windows 8.1 PC.  I really only want and only use one.  I would also like to push the entire MyDocuments folder to SkyDrive so I could always have everything on my home and work PCs.  

Yes, I experienced the tortures of the damned when I started using SkyDrive because I was a Office Live customer and tried to use that account with Office 365 subscription and SkyDrive.  MSFT helped me address that problem.  Now I would like some help and advice for managing my SkyDrive.  

When I use the Windows 8.1 SkyDrive client to access my drive I see only a subset of the data with which I work.  How do I know that the SkyDrive folder in my documents is syncing with the cloud?  It certainly does not appear to be doing this.  

Can I just delete the other sky drive folders from my computer and just keep the one I use?
How do I link the SkyDrive folder on the PC to the one in the cloud?

Now how do I get the entire MyDocuments folder to sync?  

Is there a desktop client that works with Windows 8.1?  How do I get it?

Thanks for your help
