With the launch of Windows 8 preview version, SkyDrive becomes the standard on the "Start" interface. Any Win8 application can be directly connected to SkyDrive. I have been using SkyDrive on Windows PC for some time. Here I will share some tips for using it. Www.2cto.com Author: Anand Babu, SkyDrive group product marketing specialist tip 1. Easy access to SkyDrive from any Windows 8 application, in addition to using the Microsoft netdisk SkyDrive application to browse and manage your files, you can also use other Windows applications to select a specific file or upload and save the file to SkyDrive. For example, to select a screen lock or image password, you can select a photo directly from your SkyDrive in the file browser. Select SkyDrive from the "file location" drop-down list and select an image.

Alternatively, if you are using applications such as sketchbooks, the sketch you created can also be saved directly to SkyDrive in the application. The method is the same: Select SkyDrive from the "file location" drop-down list. Tip 2: Get photos from another device. for users who are already using Windows 8 preview edition, you can use the photo application to quickly "get" photos from another PC. The principle behind this function is the same as getting files from SkyDrive.com. All you need to do is install the SkyDrive application on the PC where you want to get photos and establish an Internet connection. The Windows 8 preview edition photo application automatically calls photos on your PC with the "get" feature enabled, so that you can easily browse photos on all these devices. TIPS: www.2cto.com 3. Sort out the files on Microsoft's SkyDrive. If you have been using SkyDrive for some time, you have created many folders, but you have not sorted them out, you may need a chance to sort out your SkyDrive files. Now, this task is easy because you can drag and drop the SkyDrive folder on a Windows PC. Even if you share these files and folders through the SkyDrive sharing update released last year, you can share these files and folders without compromising the shared access of others. When you perform the preceding operations, pay special attention to the fact that applications such as Office and devices such as Windows Phone can only work with the "special" folder on SkyDrive, these folders include documents, images, public, mobile uploads, blog images, SkyDrive camera pictures, Twitter uploads, and BitLocker. If you delete or rename these folders, SkyDrive will automatically recreate them to ensure that these applications or devices can continue working. Of course, you can still move the files or folders in these special folders. Tip 4: Add SkyDrive to your Windows database to make it easier to access the Microsoft online disk SkyDrive. The original design is simple and powerful. There are also many personalized choices for a single SkyDrive folder. If you want to view SkyDrive files and other files and images together, you can add files or image subfolders on SkyDrive to Windows 7 (or Windows 8). This operation is especially convenient when you use applications such as Photo Gallery or Office that display files in a specific database by default. This is another reason to keep the folders on your SkyDrive in order. Tip 5: Turn SkyDrive into your "preferred" Storage region. If you want to put cloud services first and consider SkyDrive as your preferred storage location for your personal files, you can set the default storage location of the database to your SkyDrive folder. In addition, you can delete all other local folders in the database. Www.2cto.com Tip 6. Redirect your desktop to Microsoft netdisk SkyDrive. We often put "unfinished work" on the desktop. When switching between two PCs, we may easily forget these important files. To solve this problem, you can now redirect your PC desktop to a folder in SkyDrive. Right-click "desktop" in your user folder and select "properties ". Then, change the desktop location to the SkyDrive folder you selected. Tip 7: add an OneNote notebook to SkyDrive. If you use both the Microsoft netdisk SkyDrive and OneNote, you may have noticed that your laptop is displayed as a shortcut in the SkyDrive folder, rather than an actual file. This is because OneNote uses a unique method to implement collaboration with SkyDrive, and can implement special features such as "joint creation. To add an OneNote notebook that is currently only saved on a PC to SkyDrive, just enable OneNote 2010, click "file" and "share", and then scroll to "share ", select "network", and then select SkyDrive from the "webpage location" menu. After that, you can view or edit the notebook files on the network. If OneNote 2010 is not installed on your PC (or Mac), you can also click the corresponding shortcut in your SkyDrive folder to access your notebook, just like accessing your OneNote notebook from the Internet. Tip 8. Collaborate in Office documents if you plan to use Word 2010 or 2011, PowerPoint 2010 or 2011 or Office Web applications to edit a file with others, you can open the file directly from SkyDrive.com, instead of from your SkyDrive folder. In this way, you and your friends can process the "latest" version of the document. Even if you work at the same time, there will be no version conflict. Tip 9. Make it easier to access shared folders and sharing options www.2cto.com. In the Microsoft online disk SkyDrive preview designed for Windows and Mac, you can use IE browser (or Finder) to view personal saved documents. To view your shared files or files in your working group, visit SkyDrive.com or use the SkyDrive application of Windows 8. To quickly access SkyDrive.com, use IE to fix it in your taskbar. You can also customize your taskbar to display the small icons of SkyDrive all the time. Then, you can right-click the SkyDrive icon and select "go to SkyDrive.com ". After the SkyDrive icon appears in the system tray, you can easily check whether the synchronization is complete. If SkyDrive is still in sync, a green line will slide through the bottom of the icon, and it will disappear after the synchronization is complete.
