Question asked on Aug 27, 2013
I recently switched from a Win 7 laptop to a Win 8 laptop. On both devices I used skydrive (desktop mode). On my WIn 7 device, I could access files while offline (I fly a lot for work) and could close and save skydrive files while offline and allow the
synch to occur when back online. However, on my Win 8 machine it won't let me save changes to offline files until I establish a connection- so essentially no background synch is possible. I get an error message stating I need to wait for a connection or I
must save my files to a different folder.
Is there a setting I am missing that would allow me to have the background synch option work? I fly quite a bit and do a lot of work on airplanes, it is annoying having to leave all files open to wait for a connection to then save.
