MS skydrive
Dear all,
I have 3 x PC at home + office and I expect I can upload things to the skydriver/onedrive so that all PC can see the same thing and get the same files once uploaded, but I see sync error and the icon of skydrive is:
what I see from onedrive.com is that one my office PC has registered but it is one of the PC having problem ,the PC do not register DO NOT have problem!
How can I fix this kind of sync problem in onedrive?

I know it sounds too simple, but have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling skydrive on the problem PC? I've had that issue before and that fixed it.

"have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling skydrive on the problem PC? "
I am using Windows 8.1 and the skydrive page say no need to install anything, is that right?
or please suggest how.

Hi marrowyung the whole picture
you need to log in>>> so based on that
Microsoft Onedrive account holders use their ISP email address as the login name and then the same password that matches your ISP.
For example if you use windows live emails take at look at your account it will be
yourname@ your ISP.com
If you have a different ISP at work then you need to setup a Microsoft account from your work ISP email account and password and share your files to yourself at your home ISP.
This is not the same as syncing your windows 8.1 with your mobile or ipad as they all have the same ISP.
When you are at work in order to open the same emails and the same folders off your window OneDrive you must login from work using your home ISP name and account.
Hotmail used to be your name@hotmail.com but it nolonger accepts that because Hotmail nolonger exists and has been replaced with Outlook.com
The reason for all this mayhem ( technology has advanced)
and because our ISP( internet Service Provider) has merged with Microsoft cloud,
Our ISP used to have our post offfice emails on their server where you could log in via their web page to see your emails . For example your ISP name on the web page their homepage.
It was a way to backup our emails and to be able access them off a web page if you were out of town.
In order to keep up with technology,
now pretty well all Internet Service Providers use Cloud and Microsoft OneDrive as the backup for our windows emails client ,
Well basically we are still doing that loggin to our emails Post Office online but now instead of it being exclusively our ISP server they have hooked with Microsoft cloud and so now we are logging into Microsoft account which has our emails, Plus plus plus
With all the new devices accessing the internet this service has enabled us to link all those >>mobile/ipad devices to our emails and now photos video etc files on the OneDrive. ( One Place)
We were not able to share this from our ISP in the same way previosuly.
You may have noticed In windows 7 and up there is nolonger an email client bundled with the windows.
We had to download windows Essentials to get Windows Live Mail or use Outlook from Office. Or just use web based email clients such as Gmail etc.
When you are on OneDrive have a look at your emails.
Click that little arrow next to the OneDrive.
Note all the services in ONE place hense the name OneDrive.
As your running windows 8.1 and which email account? email client?
You can login from your email account or the web. They use the same
https://onedrive.live.com/
You dont need that OneDrive folder desktop application on your computer at all it will automatically sync the files on your Hard drive with the OneDrive.
It is there to save you logging onto OneDrive and uploading files.
I prefer to just upload them.
So I simply deleted that folder. Just a space hogger and I dont like the connection link to my HDD as I woudl need to keep OneDrive running all the time, by uploading my files when needed I can exit OneDrive and have no other resources running in the background, I simply login when needed.
Also to my understanding it will only sync from the default logged in account that you have logged in with. If you are not logged in it won't sync.
So Login from your Mobile ISP or your Ipad ISP is they all have the same ISP account name and password.
I understand this may seem a bit confusing but Microsoft seems to have made the emails the main importance for this account.
It's like they just decided to add the sharing uploading options to keep up with the race to stay in front.
To share files and folders once your logged in go to the share and insert the people names groups... If you want to see your files across different computers you need to log out then log in again using the same credentials on that computer.

"are all 4 PC's switched ON at the same time?"
not 4 ! only 2 x switched on at the same time, one next to each other.
"When looking at your OneDrive folder structure (Big Data and Cluster DB for example), I suspect that you have large files in there and/or a lot of files, right? "
no. they are totally less than 3MB.,
"You could setup 3 accounts for you home PC's and one for your business PC and then use OneDrive Groups to share information between the accounts. "
anyway to reset the onedrive login so that I can set it up by retype login information again ?

yes ! but one of the machine I gives the screenshot is Windows 7.
But the one next to me is Windows 8.1 and it DO NOT have problem ! however, another Windows 8.1 at home has a BIG problem !
The Windows 7's sync problem is very less when compare to the Windows 8.1 expensive machine at home. ahhaha
email client is the outlook 2010 on desktop AND the email apps for Windows 8.1

No, once you remove that folder it will nolonger sync from your windows to OneDrive marrowyung.
But so long as the files are on your Microsoft account> OneDrive anyone you share with will see them.
Or when you login from your other computers.
So whether you upload manually or use the desktop tool OneDrive to sync from.
Understanding that this Onedrive folder in your windows syncs to the Cloud storage called OneDrive.
BTW the folder in your screenshot is called SkyDrive, ah could be your problem..
I believe you cant use it now so deleting it is fine.. Skydrive folder on our systems was installed with Skydrive so you cant uninstall it.
OneDrive you can uninstall.
You need OneDrive, download that for your device or for whichever version of windows you are on.
So in W8 download W8. in your W7 download w7 and so on for ipad mobile etc.
Follow the prompts sign in with your Microsoft name and password then decide what you want to give access to. complete it on each of your computers
https://onedrive.live.com/about/en-au/download/
Then test them.
Mine is in C Users User. I have not allowed any drives or folders to be synced.
I prefer not to use the desktop tool
I upload them manually by logging into OneDrive
Then I upload from there like this>
I only use OneDrive to share> to send a special video file to family member in another country.
I upload it then share it.
When I share that video it sends them an email with a link to my video.
Or when they share a video with me I get an email like this
As they have a Microsoft Account it will automatically play for them from my Account as it is shared in the Public.
Have you ever shared a video file from OneDrive?
OneDrive has a nice mediaplayer for video inbuilt.
to demonstrate
We can continue from there.

"BTW the folder in your screenshot is called SkyDrive, ah could be your problem.."
I do this before the onedrive launch ! I don't think it is the problem, the PC which is working is using skydrive.
The one which is not working fine is using onedrive.
"Mine is in C Users User"
what is this mean ?
"Have you ever shared a video file from OneDrive?"
no, I prefer the video to save in my PC. quite confidential one.
"OneDrive has a nice mediaplayer for video inbuilt."
any of your video you'd like to share as you said ?

the language here is a bit brief.
on the Windows 7 machine I get sync problem, I see red color icon next to the folder name, so I try finding out the problem and it seems there are hints when I move the mouse over the icon. it said the same fodler name exists in the cloud and therefore can't sync that.
The folder having problem are, big data and code library (my screenshot in the post), I just rename the one having problemon my Windows 7 PC and it will turn green ! it means it is working, then 10 mintues later my Windows 8 PC can detect it and copy it to c:\.
I can then see all everything on that new folder on my Windows 8.1 PC (it detect the change I made from Windows 7).
Then I do the rest to combine both folder to make sure that they both the same and both machine are seeing the same thing now !!
I just test if I modify something from one machine can the other machine, it works now !!
but one thing, when I back home at night I turn off both machine at office and it is now the Windows 8.1 PC at home still havingp problem, need to fix.

skydrive is quite dump that when I read the "VIEW PROBLEM" by right click the skydrive, I see that just BECAUSE one file/folder's name is too long that skydrive can't sync back to my desktop, it will stop syncing the REST, very dump !! right?

Like yourself I suggested he just merge them. Delete one. Then His Cloud OneDrive will have a folder to sync with.
He could keep the old and merge the newly added and uninstall the new.

yes, and think about what else we can do ... ahhah
it seems the KB is not right! skydrive and onedrive can support many device at once to sync thing and update the PC accordingly !!
They use different network to the skydrive cloud, so this still match what you are saying now?
"Not knowing that his SkyDrive continues to function just fine he downloaded OneDrive and resulted with two OneDrive folders."

even I figure out myself, thanks everyone anyway!
Lol thank you marrowyung
It only became a bit complicated when Skydrive upgraded to OneDrive.
Blame Microsoft for not informing everyone to just leave Skydrive alone and all will work with OneDrive.
>>skydrive and onedrive can support many device at once to sync thing and update the PC accordingly<< indeed!! yes.
I have posted lots of links maybe when you have time read back up.
It's all explained.
I'm sorry it gets so confusing for you and many others and that is why I use it as simply as I can.
Glad to know I helped with some of the confusion, MS just doesnt provide good instructional material
All the Best

but not I found another problems here! I just found out that even the skydrive at home PC was fixed, I can see that I can't upload anything to the cloud at all.
I tried the command skydrive /shutdown and skydrive to start it again, it won't work.
it keep saying uploading 0.00 kb of 2.6GB (0% done) and never going any further, any suggestion on this?

Confirm you have sufficient space marrowyung
Login to your One drive first then check the space left
If it only has 1 gig or less than your currently 2.6GB won't upload only 1 gig of it will.
try uploading the files from OneDrive

How to force SkyDrive to store your files on your hard drive in Windows 8.1
If you want to make sure all your SkyDrive files are always available locally and sync back to the cloud, there are two ways you can do it.
The first is to open File Explorer and then right-click the SkyDrive icon in the left-hand navigation column. In the context menu, select "Make available offline."
That will force SkyDrive to download all of your cloud-stored files to the local machine. (Warning: It might take a while if you're stashing a lot of stuff in SkyDrive.)

yeah, but the point is, now, whatever I save in my home PC, I can't get it back in office!
so I need to fix it !

I don't want that, I want it online, or I can't work if the content is offline anyway.
but I will rethink that ! I don't work offline at all !

At work are you using office? to access Onedrive?
Are you allowed to access OneDrive for personal files like movies etc?
Last one for tonight ;)
Keep your Office documents in OneDrive
referenced
With OneDrive, you can get to your Office documents from any PC, Mac, tablet, or phone.
Create and edit documents from anywhere
To create an Office document using Office Online, just go to the OneDrive website,
tap or click Create on the bar at the top, and then choose the type of file you want to create.
When you tap or click an Office document on the OneDrive website, it automatically opens in Office Online.
The Office Online programs preserve your document formatting, so you can make quick edits without worrying about messing up how the document looks.
Work together on documents
When you use OneDrive, you can share documents with other people and all work on the same copy instead of sending different versions back and forth in email.
Your classmates, friends, or coworkers can use Office Online for free to view or edit the documents, even if they don't have Office installed.
With OneDrive, you can even work on documents with other people at the same time without creating conflicts. For more info about sharing files in OneDrive, see Share files and folders and change permissions.
