When I updated my computer to Windows 8.1, I created a local account with which to log in.  I just realized today that none of the filed I had place in my local SkyDrive folder had been syncing to the cloud, so I decided to change my account to a Microsoft account.  I now log in with my Hotmail user ID and password (the same one I use to log in to SkyDrive).

To test whether it started syncing again, I dropped a few documents into the root directory of my local SkyDrive folder.  Nothing shows up on the website.  There are no overlays on the file to show it's syncing.  There are no indications in the top-right corner of the SkyDrive tile to show that anything is syncing, and nothing shows up in the SkyDrive folder online (nor on my Android SkyDrive app).

I then opened the SkyDrive integrated Windows 8.1 app and added a few files there.  They showed up in my local SkyDrive folder, but again, not online.

I need this to work.  If I can't get it to work within the next day or so, I'll abandon SkyDrive, and buy more storage from Google.

Please advise.
