Yesterday I put updated a file on skydrive and deleted two files, but the changes are not showing this morning.

 

Here is the information I have: I'm not likely to be interested in posting anything more. I am too sore about this failure.

 

Windows 8.1. 64bit. Laptop.

 

logged in to my laptop with my windows id, as I do. logged into my school wifi network as usual. no problems.

 

Dragged and dropped a file from my local folder to my skydrive folder. Delete two other files in the same skydrive folder.

 

Waited a minute or two and checked the date on the skydrive file. It was updated to yesterdays date. the two deleted files were deleted.

 

I opened the file from the skydrive folder. it was the lastest copy. I don't recall there being any 'upload' icon in the lower left corner. I don't know what that is for anyway, though sometimes I see it there, sometimes not.

 

I shutdown my laptop, went home.

 

This morning, I am at a public desktop computer, at school, running windows 8 server. I logged into outlook.com with my id and went to the skydrive folder. there is no sign of the changes I made. the file I updated is not the updated version and the files I deleted are not deleted. it is as if I did nothing. the changes I made do not appear.

 

I don't know what the situation is on the laptop because I can't get to it until the locker room opens.

 

Guys, this is really poor form. How can I trust skydrive when it fails without any indication whatsoever that it has failed? The reason I was so careful in double checking everything is because I don't trust it in the first place. What else could I possibly do besides double checking that everything looks fine? Surely MS does not expect me to go to another computer and double check that the update actually took place anytime I use  skydrive?
