Hello, I've started using Skydrive, after Microsoft annihilated Live Mesh and bought additional storage, just to see that Microsoft is cutting down (again) the functionality I paid for.

 

Now in Windows 8.1 there is no Skydrive Desktop application, just system shell. I find the concept really nice, but it works awful and doesn't support any of my use-cases. I am thinking of switching a cloud provider, but before that I would like to ask some questions about the "new" skydrive.

 

1. Will I be able to create a Skydrive on another drive than C: (will it be supported)?

2. Will I be able to use symbolic links to synchronize any folder I want?

3. Is there going to be any dashboard to resolve syncing issues besides that crappy one in the Skydrive modern app?

4. Why skydrive application is better on MacOS and is so terrible on the newest Windows 8.1? Why do You neglect users who actually buy Your products?

5. If I'm not satisfied with the future product, is there any way I can get my money back?


Note - I'm using Windows 8.1 RTM, not preview.
