Skydrive in corporate environment
So we have quite a few customers now upgrading to Office 2013.
None of them want their employees saving files to SkyDrive.
Is there no way to disable it completely on all machines?
One person has suggested we need to upgrade to SkyDrive Pro....in order to NOT use it?!

Thanks for that.
I've seen solutions like this that can be used on an individual basis, but when you've got 50 or more users on each network - bit of a pain to go through this.
I was expecting some tight integration with group policy, no such luck.

Thanks for sharing your insight.
We just feel like we're missing something. Surely MS wouldn't have planned on businesses having no control over where their staff save their data ??

Have you looked at the settings for the Office 2013 administrative templates? There are some things you can do in there.
Unistall skydrive.
Rest of this is on a per profile basis.
