Does anyone know a way to do this?

I'm trying to use skydrive on two different computers, but when I made them both with the same MS account they synced stuff to each other, which I do not want.

I made a local account on one computer, but if I want to access Skydrive, it changes that account, back to the main account.

Is there a way to access the same Skydrive account through the app without making them the same user account?

Or is there a way to unsync different computers?

Hello Chowchig,

It sounds like you are switching your local account to a Microsoft account when you open the modern SkyDrive (OneDrive) app on your Start screen.

If you want to keep using a local account in Windows 8 while using OneDrive, you could go online to OneDrive.Live.com to access you OneDrive instead.

Hope this helps, :)
Shawn
