SkyDrive Sync issues

15. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
I would like to know how to monitor network traffic between SkyDrive Pro and Server.  Which tool is best to watch the traffic.

 

I was trying to understand the SkyDrive pro sync works as its really causing huge traffic so when I was checking the same using fiddler I have observed that updated data/content in ".DOCX" was it in different formats( bytes). I understand Microsoft adds some additional unreadable bytes for security purpose but what I wondering was , the format got changed based on the browser type, same word document was converted into added some raw additional bytes differently , so my query is how to understand this for me to apply any additional encryption techniques if I want to encrypt doc using client side ciphering techniques. so please share any idea how SkyDrive pro works ( I mean how it sends POST REQUEST PARAMETERS ) what are the different types of PRPs( Post Request Parameters) pls share if you have any idea that will be really a great help.

 

thanks in advance.

Skydrive syncing to AWS messed up my Data, I need my Skydrive restored from a period back.

I synched my Skydrive data, about 80 GB to an Amazon AWS server, because I could not get Skydrive to sync down to my mobile workstation.

It ran through the night, and in the morning reported that all was done. I checked the sizes of the locations and when it correlated, I disconnected skydrive, and selectively wiped skydrive.com.

When I later went back into my amazon resource, it was clear that skydrive did not fully sync, and I had a huge amount of empty folders.

I need my skydrive data restored to a month ago, or whatever period later than 2 weeks.

Regards

Graeme

Skydrive – refuses to upload large file. (Windows7)

13. August 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Hotmail, Outlook.com · Tags: ,
Think I'll drop Skydrive.  It seems to "get stuck" uploading a 20MB+ file.  The notification icon just sits at "processing".  It would be useful if this gave a little more information while handling particularly large files.
I fix this by closing the desktop (Skydrive) program, logging into Skydrive browser and dragging the file into the browser which provides a nice upload commentary and takes about 30mins.
Then I restart the desktop programme and -as expected - it says "up-to-date".

Thinking out loud...this is an email client (data) file.  I guess there's a possibility that it gets updated in a time which is LESS than the time it takes to upload it.  In this case, Skydrive would never catchup.  Is this a possible scenario?

Upgraded to Win8 and now can’t connect to previous Skydrive

Moved all of my important files to my Skydrive. Loaded Win 8 and Office 2013. Now I can't access my files.

 

Previous Skydrive was connected through Hotmail account. New Skydrive is using my Win 8 log in and creating a new Skydrive with none of my files. I am able to find my old files by going through web Skydrive but can't sync back to new laptop nor can I add it as a PC.

 

Right now I am able to download as a zip file and extract it on my hard drive but some of the folders are 2 gig and it is timing out.

I get an error message 800704dc when I sync from onenotes to SkyDrive. The document on SkyDrive has the edits but when I try to look at them from another device the edits are not there. Customer service from Microsoft does not seem to be able to identify the problem as they have referred me to this medium in search of a solution.

SkyDrive used to work, but has since stopped working (Windows 8, Surface Pro).
Every time SkyDrive starts, it seems to exit (fatal crash).

I've tried reinstalling SkyDrive and have tried setting disableIncreasedUploadPerf = true
No luck.
