| 1348906 | 2013-07-15 03:41:00 | I am setting up 2 cloud drives for my more important files. RE: Skydrive. I know how to change the location but how are the files stored? Are they stored under the SkyDrive blue icon filename. I am trying to assign it a folder, so whenever that folder gets updated, it syncs to the cloud. It seems that if I change the folder. If I copy files there it's not synced. But if I double click the blue cloud icon filename it opens up another world itself where it stores the files. I am trying to minimise duplicates, so when the folders change, it simply just sync to MS. |

| 1348907 | 2013-07-15 04:03:00 | If I unlink it via the settings. The 32MB blue cloud dissapears and the files. Maybe it's better just to upload using a web browser. If online has like 1 or 2GB of files and I reinstall the app, wouldn't it resync to my HD again and download it again :confused: | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1348908 | 2013-07-15 06:32:00 | On any PC's that we use skydrive, if you put anything in the actual Skydrive folder it will sync / upload to Skydrive. i've also found if you select other folders outside of the skydrive folder they wont even if you tell skydrive to select them. Thats how I have my accounting backups, every time I backup the program it instantly backs up to skydrive any changes. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1348909 | 2013-07-15 06:42:00 | so that means you would have two copies? one in the normal folder and one in the skydrive? | Nomad (952) | ||
| 1348910 | 2013-07-15 06:49:00 | Not for me :) the accounting program I use ( cashbook Complete) has the option to backup anywhere on the LAN, or local PC, it used to be C Drive Cashbook Backups, but I changed the backup location to the Skydrive folder. Now when I make an entry, and then click backup , its instantly uploaded to Skydrive. The program only insists on being backed up daily, but I can do it manually if I want. |

| 1348911 | 2013-07-15 07:22:00 | It may be with noting that anything you store there is directly accessible to US authorities and their many contractors. This may be acceptable to you (or not) but I certainly wouldn't be putting anything private or commercially sensitive on there. You may also be in breach of NZ data protection laws if you put other people's information there. |
