SkyDrive app does not work and NEVER has.

Hi all :-)

I bought Windows 8 Release Date, and Skydrive app NEVER worked.  I downloaded a file, which worked, but now all I can do is upload and download.  If I try to delete or move a file, or even to create a folder, I get errors (well, one mistake)... "Sorry, something went wrong.  Please try again or refresh the page.  None of these suggestions work.

I am an advanced user and have tried all the usual steps convenience store app, sfc, uninstall/reinstall, sync, app updates etc, nothing has solved the problem so far.  I talked to tech on Twitter (@MicrosoftHelps) team, and they suggested to use the browser to access Skydrive, which did work, however... I want to use the application to access Skydrive, and as Skydrive is integrated in Windows 8.1, I may even NEED that kind of access ;-)

I recently had to reinstall Windows, but this issue remains, so I can only assume it is some kind of server or access my account-related problem, but I can't.  I even checked my account settings, nothing helped.  Perhaps a Microsoft engineer could check my account to see if there is an access problem?

Otherwise... Any suggestions?

Kind regards.

Hi, DJ Morpheus,.

Yes, you are right, it seems to be a problem with the Microsoft Account.

Follow these methods and check if that helps.

Method 1:
First of all, I suggest you run the Microsoft Account troubleshooting utility
The resolution of the Microsoft account issues scans a Windows 8 system for questions and
fix problems that are found with regard to your Microsoft Account.

Method 2:

If this does not help, create a new user account to check whether the SkyDrive app works correctly.
