I have a desktop and a laptop both running Windows 8.1 Pro, upgraded recently from Windows 8.0 Pro.

Each computer has an identical Microsoft id that is set up to sync with SkyDrive, On the laptop it works fine, I can save or copy a file to the SkyDrive folder on the PC and it will upload to SkyDrive or vice versa.


On the desktop I can access SkyDrive on the Web via IE11 and see my files but they do not show up in my SkyDrive folder in File Explorer.  If I try to save a file from Word it is not defaulting to the SkyDrive folder (even though this option is enabled in the SkyDrive app). If I manually change to save in the SkyDrive folder on the PC it says I do  not have Permission to save in this location and to contact Administrator. I can force a copy of a file to the SkyDrive folder but it never uploads to the cloud.


I have another userid on the same desktop and Skydrive is working properly with it.



Any assistance you can provide is greatly appreciated!
