Shared folders don't show up in the explorer window from the Skydrive desktop app.  Is there a way to do this?

I have been reading various chains here and I have the same problem a lot of others do.  I share the folder with someone.  They get an email with a link.  When they follow the link, they can see the files.  However, if they simply login to their skydrive account, they do NOT see the folder/files under their shared folders.  How can it be there via a link, but not there via login??  I am new to SkyDrive and I like the idea of this technology, but I've read that it may take 4-6 days before someone can access documents/folders via their shared folders - this seems unacceptable.  Is this something MSFT is working on fixing??

 

Am I doing something wrong with granting sharing permission?

I am setting up outlook 2011 for Mac on a new computer and I can't see my shared folders. They do appear in my outlook on my current computer. Any idea how to get them to appear on my new computer?

Hello,

 

At my workplace we have some PC computers running outlook 2003, and some Mac computers, running outlook 2011. I am trying to share folders from an outlook 2003 account on PC, and have them visible on the Mac outlook 2011 account.

 

Ideally I need to be able to open a secondary calendar subfolder, but I am actually unable to open ANY shared folders.

 

I know the complicated process for sharing subfolders, and have executed this between multiple 2003 PC users, but am thus far unable to do it on a Mac. Here is what have tried:

 

I have given the 2011 mac user permission as an editor to my calendar, and my mailbox, and had that user try to "open a shared calendar" and "open a shared inbox"

 

I have made the 2011 mac user a delegate with editor access to my mailbox and calendar, and then had that user add me in "users I am a delegate for" and then try to open my mailbox and calendars.

 

In both cases I do not get any error messages, but nothing happens - no folders appear, no "shared folders" drop-down appears on the navigation bar. Nothing - I click okay, the window closes and nothing is different.

 

If I go to send an e-mail on the other user's computer, I can select myself to send the e-mail from, but when I send the e-mail I get a "Unknown error has occured in outlook" -19992 message.

 

I have tried quiting and reopening outlook on both accounts multiple times.

 

Thank you in advance for all your help!
