Could you please help fix an issue with sending photo album via windows live mail. I have a paid subscription to windows live mail (ie formally Hotmail and now outlook.com). have had this problem since Skydrive was changed to Onedrive. I have read all of the other various past threads on this and similar issues regarding sending photos, emails, attachments, as well as issues with syncing, etc. I tried the fix-its associated with some of these threads and tried other solutions as well. The problem seems to occur after sending the email... It gets stuck during the step of creating an album on Onedrive... ie it is unable to upload the photos to onedrive for sending... I was able to do this the very week before Skydrive was changed to Onedrive so I do not know if there are some different settings, etc... But I think it is an issue on the Microsoft end because my father who lives out of state and has a completely different account, etc but also uses windows 7 called me for help with the very same issue... And a friend of mine who also uses Windows 7 and windows live mail (ie outlook.com) is also having the same issue.  I do hope Microsoft can resolve this issue. Thank you

Skydrive has periodically required a reinstall on Mac OSX.  This occurred about once a month, annoying but still worked.

Now after upgrade to OSX (10.9) Mavericks, the Startup/INstall for Skydrive will not go past the Select Folder screen.   Just sits there……even after clicking to select Folder.   I am able to sign in, trigger two-step security process and insert MS Code for security, but next window asking you to select the Skydrive folder won't do anything.  It never opens a selection window to point to the skydive Folder to create (location).

I have fully uninstalled Skydrive, automatically and manually.  All Containers apps uninstalled and Folders Gone. Restarted Mac.

Then Downloaded the newest version (17) from MS Site and attempted a clean reinstall……Yet, I Can not get past the select Folder window on reinstall.

FYI:  Removed skydive folder and all contents to back drive off this system so there are no remnants of the prior SkyDrive on this Mac.  Its a clean install.

Also, Skydrive does work an my home mac (osx Mavericks mac mini) and the setup/configuration of this other Mac is very similar and is synching there fine.


Help!

I'm using SkyDrive 100 GB paid version and had stored 65 GBs of files. My work files are under SkyDrive and I make lots of updates to them during daytime. Unfortunately each time I update files under SkyDrive folder it takes 10s of minutes for them to be detected and synced. Skydrive consumes a lot of CPU and disk effort in order to understand which files are changed. This is so frustrating especially when I'm in a rush. Is there any way to increase response speed of SkyDrive?

My Win8.1 Pro laptop went through a Windows update last night, and afterwards all my Skydrive files had been switched to "Online only". I switched the folders to "Make available offline", and the Modern app is showing it is syncing the files to my machine. However, in Explorer views, files are showing up as available offline, but they still have the blue sync graphic on the file icons. These files are not accessible from my computer. Attempting to launch one starts a download (contradicting the "available" label), hangs and reports an error dialog (1 Interrupted Action...Error 0x800705B4). I'm on a reasonably fast DSL connection. Also, my user profile is showing a Skydrive.old folder created yesterday morning. It's got all my files, completely accessible, but obviously any application that uses my default Skydrive directory structure isn't able to access those files. This is a PITA!

Hi guys,


I save all my files to Skydrive these days and I have noticed that in the Win8.1 Skydrive app there are folders that were created for me, not by me (see screenshot: Pictures, there was one called Documents but I successfully deleted it after several attempts)

That's no big deal really, although I would like Skydrive to me organised the way I want it to be (the pictures folder reappears no matter how many times you delete it, heck even the documents folder gave up eventually!). The really odd thing I have noticed is this:


If you can't read that it says: "C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive\Documents is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted, and then try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or Internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted.".


I am connected to the network and all else checks out. The thing is I did deleted this folder. The default save location is set to C:\Users\Enda\Skydrive (and I don't need this function anyway as I manually save my files).


So why does the computer try to save to this location if the documents folder (which I remind you was deleted) is not set as the default save location?


I would like to point out at this point that this is no big deal. I can just hit OK and save to wherever. I am just curious.


Thanks in advance and please ask if you need me to clarify further,


eck

Hello,

First of all SkyDrive is great I like it very much and I have migrated from all other cloud storages. But I came accorss an issue that I can't solve and It might be the reason that will make me go back to dropbox. The problem is that it is impossible to share files, that have been already shared with me.
Person X shared with me a file X.doc and I can't find the option to share this file with next person that I am working with (I canr share X.doc further).
Is it possible? Am I doing something wrong?

Thank You!

Kuba

My Windows 8.1 PC and Windows Phone 8 apps that interact with SkyDrive cannot upload or download files.  When I try this I get a few different error messages but I'm sure they're all related.  I recently changed my Microsoft Account password, but this is the only glitch I've encountered.   I also changed my display name from Eric F to Eric J F, but I can't imagine that had any effect.


The apps that are a problem are listed in my MS account settings under Account Settings/Permissions/Apps and Services.  The various app error messages are:

Problem uploading to SkyDrive:  An error occurred while retrieving the resource.  Try again later.

Unable to retrieve folder properties on SkyDrive.

Cannot connect to SkyDrive.


I've tried the following with no success:

Logging in and out and restarting

Uninstalling and reinstalling the apps

Removing the permissions (from above) and reinstalling the apps

Creating new files and/or folders for the apps

Re-syncing the app licenses


Copying. pasting, moving, and deleting to and from SkyDrive works fine, so it's an app-related issue.


Any insights or suggestions are appreciated!

Ever since the launch of Skype (and Facebook) webchat integration into Outlook.com I am experiencing an issue where using the Skype messaging pane from the various tab views (Mail, People, Calendar, SkyDrive) while logged into outlook.com is only possible from the Skydrive tab.

 

In addition another issue occurs where connected facebook chat histories are only displayed in Calendar and SkyDrive view but NOT in Mail and People view.

 

Apparently switching my language settings in the according areas (Mail, People,Calender & Skydrive) from English (US) to English (UK) seems to be a workaround and skype integration then seems to work fine (the issue with the facebook chat history display remains though).

 

Please refer to the below private message thread for detailed information and previous analysis information (provided fiddler trace & screenshots):
