I have 13 licenses of Office Home and Business. I will create 3 MS Accounts for installation. After an year- PCs with Office will be transfered to different employees of the same company. What about skydrive? Can we create new skydrive space or something similar.

About 6 months ago (estimated) and before that, in Skydrive, when we uploaded photos, we could check or uncheck a box to tell Skydrive to upload the original file or to upload a smaller (compressed ?) file.   The smaller file was big enough to provide a nice photo on a computer screen and to print 5x7 type photos.

 

I do not see that option now.

 

Do we have to upload the original file photo size ?

 

My camera uses about 4 MB for each photo file.

OK.

But I do not need to save that on Skydrive.

About 1 MB seems fine to me.

 

Thanks.

Skydrive keeps sitting there waiting for internet connection If one goes to open the folder Skydrive might connect for 10 minutes then disconnects again. In all a right royal PIA. 2 days and uploaded 400mb. Great.

Help!!

Hi all first time Wp8 user and sophomore SkyDrive user.

 

My issue is with the quality of my video upload when uploading larger videos to my SkyDrive account via my Lumia 928 on Verizon. Basically I take a great HD video of my kids that looks and sounds great but when I upload it SkyDrive compresses it so bad my kids look like muddy aliens from planet 8 bit! :) I use the manual method via pushing and holding on the video, share, save to SkyDrive.

 

very short videos seem to be ok but larger ones are unusable. I have verified that my WiFi connection is good. Is there a fix in the works or is there a suggestion box? Or is this one of those growing pains things that make wp8 and SkyDrive "almost" recomendable to friends and family :(.

 

I mean I know its possible since the other cloud service that shall not be named was able to perform the same function over a year ago on my old galaxy...

 

Anyways thanks in advance!

 

M3mel aka I wanna love wp8 and SkyDrive so bad!

Hi I created a skydrive account and backed up my data (phots and videos) from my Nokia Lumia phone as it was causing me issues and Orange had to send it away to be investigated.  I backed my data up in the Orange Shop. 

After waiting 3 weeks to get my phone back (to be told nothing wrong with it grrrrr!!), I logged into my Skydrive account to transfer my data back over to phone but it says my account is blank (no photos or documents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!).

How can this be????

Please any help or assistance welcome :(

I've been unable to upload even a single photo to SkyDrive for a few weeks now, though haven't changed anything I'm doing and they're just simple photos from either my mobile or camera that I've uploaded to the computer. I am accessing SkyDrive via my Hotmail account. I click 'upload', select the photo that I want to upload, click 'Ok' and the process starts but then a pop up window appears saying that Internet Explorer has stopped working, will be closed and that Explorer will check for a solution. Grateful for some help!

 

Orig title: Try to upload and Windows immediately shuts down

Windows 7 on Dell laptop-open with Internet Explore: 

Skydrive has not synced files for 6 months.  When I try to retrieve files thru hotmail account/web/skydrive account. 

Did a uninstall-performed complete shutdown and reboot-reinstall and prevents me from installing Skydrive app giving error message #0x800cal.  Have 680 gig of storage uused.  Have to resort to attachments from email to share file stored with Microsoft Office 2010.

So can not do a "Fetch Files" because right click on Icon does not give those options.  I read all of your previous posts.

 

I am running skydrive on two Toshiba Portege laptops running Windows 7.  It used to sync between them seamlessly.  Lately, when I save something on one of the laptops, it uploads it to the Web Skydrive, but doesn't automatically download to the 2nd one. Even when I upload something directly to the Web Skydrive it won't sync with the 2nd laptop.  In addition, when I make changes to a file in my skydrive on the 2nd laptop, the cloud icon on the task bar reads that it's looking for changes, but it never actually updates the Web Skydrive.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling Skydrive on the 2nd laptop, but that hasn't helped.  I think that maybe I'm not completely wiping all of the data when I uninstall it, but I don't know how to do so other than from the control panel.

I had to get a replacement PC. Now even though I can see Skydrive and log into Skydrive and even have the Skydrive files and folders on the PC the PC does not show up on Skydrive. Also, I cannot get the Skydrive app to appear in my taskbar notification area. I am using Windows 8.


Any help is appreciated.



Thanks in advance for your help.

When looking at my home PC via Skydrive, I can browse to C:\Users\myname, but I need to get to C:\Users\myname\AppData, etc. to get to something in my roaming profile.

Unfortunately, in the Skydrive web interface, I can't see C:\Users\myname\AppData, because AppData in Win 7 is a hidden folder.

Is there a way to say "view hidden folders" in the web interface?
