[QUOTE="Ink, post: 147828, member: 3"] Guide: [URL='http://www.ghacks.net/2013/11/09/access-skydrive-windows-8-1-using-local-accounts/']See Tutorial on How to access SkyDrive on Windows 8.1[/URL] Additional Notes I found this Tutorial very useful for accessing my [U]other[/U] Microsoft account with 25GB SkyDrive storage space, that I cannot currently view from the File Explorer / SkyDrive folders. It has saved me the hassle of creating a new user account within Windows 8.1. There are some benefits of using this method, as follows: Advantage + Add files and folders without receiving an error of uploading an empty folder, example, when uploading an Artist with only an Album folder inside. Disadvantage: - Access to view or transfer files may be slow. Deleting files/folders: File Explorer will warn you that the deletion is a permanent action, which is partially true as they're not recoverable from your Computer's HDD. However, if you can access the [URL='https://skydrive.live.com/#qt=recyclebin']Recycle Bin[/URL] from your web browser, you may be able to restore the data. [/QUOTE]
