Set SkyDrive Local Folder to Sync With SkyDrive Account
The biggest problem with trying to configure the fetch files setting in SkyDrive is simply locating where you need to go to make adjustments. There is no SkyDrive listing on the Start menu, nor is there a menu in the Control Panel. If you want to make a change to the SkyDrive for Windows app, you will need to open the SkyDrive menu from the system tray at the bottom-right corner of your screen. Step 1: Locate the SkyDrive icon in the system tray at the bottom-right corner of your computer screen. If you do not see the icon, you will need to click the upward facing arrow first.
Step 2: Right-click the SkyDrive icon, then click the Settings option.
Step 3: Check the option to the left of Make files on this PC available to me on other devices.
Step 4: Click the OK button at the bottom of the window to save your changes. The SkyDrive folder on your computer will now be able to sync with the files that are already stored in your online SkyDrive storage, and any files that you copy to that folder from your computer will sync with the onlien storage as well.
