One Drive question.

[David Bailey]

The right is my OneDrive folder tile, the left is the app tile:

clicking on either takes me to the respective location.

LOL! I didn't notice that he's opening a OneDrive folder tile, not the app tile. His app tile is still named Skydrive, which I didn't see either. Typical me > Typical man.

So does the update create a OneDrive folder tile then?

I downloaded OneDrive from:

https://onedrive.live.com

 

[David Bailey]

Wait! There is much confusion here:

David did not install the leaked updates but he has a OneDrive folder and a OneDrive app on his start screen.

I have the OneDrive app but I do not yet have a OneDrive folder. I can only assume it would have been created when I attempted to add some files.

The general consensus was that the OneDrive app would not be available on Win 8.1 proper so the big question is: "How did David get that OneDrive app and folder before the official Win 8.1.1 update if he did not apply the leaked updates?"

Downloaded it from:

LOL! There sure is confusion. Let's slow down!

David's app tile is still named SkyDrive. His Folder tile is named OneDrive.

Edwin, however has both OneDrive folder and app tile.

I have the add to "Pin to Start" shortcut in my right click drop down context menu, so the easiest way I see to make a tile is from that menu.

I wouldn't say you're a typical dinosaur, for you're willing to adapt to change if you so choose.

Thank you Tony! OH crap, I left my webcam on...

I do feel sorta I'll so I better get back into my Hover-Round and scoot to the drugstore before church. Anyway, I was sure I saw a OneDrive app on David's initial start screen and it had a big red arrow pointing to it. Anyway, this is my last response here because I can be of no further use... not that I was of any use in the first place mind you. Now, off I go and cheers to all!

MS should really dial back on trying to push their Cloud Drive !

I've been using Skydrive for a while on my PC and iPad and and like it but I don't see why hey have to include it on their start screen and make it appear like a regular drive thus creating confusion with their mainstream users.

​Gotta jet guys! Can't be late for church! BBL

I don't get it. Seriously? (No offence meant if it is)

Seriously! (No offence taken, btw)

I wish to thank everyone for their input.

You're welcome, David. Did you get it sorted out? If so, how?

I have come to the conclusion Microsoft will make the App work on or about April 8.

We shall see.
