Microsoft SkyDrive for Windows updated to 16.4.6003.0710
Microsoft is currently pushing out an upgrade for its SkyDrive for Windows desktop client that users of the service can install on their systems to synchronize files between their operating system and the cloud storage. The update that is bringing the version of the application to 16.4.6003.0710 introduces a new status window that is highlighting the last time files have been updated, and transfer status information when files are transferred between the local host and the cloud.
Especially the latter can be quite useful as a progress report as it is highlighting the Megabytes that have already been transferred, and the files that remain in the transfer queue.
What the status screen fails to display though is an estimate of the time left to transfer all the files. While it is often not that big of an issue, it may be helpful to determine when the bandwidth becomes available for other activities on the computer.
Microsoft furthermore has added a view sync problem entry to the right-click context menu of the SkyDrive icon in the system tray that is only active if synchronization issues have been discovered by the application. A new Report a problem entry has also been added to the help menu to provide SkyDrive users with options to report issues that they are experiencing. This opens a prompt that you can use to go to the forums to get help, and to open the log files of the service to take a closer look at what happened recently.
Lastly, Windows users may also notice that the SkyDrive logo has been updated. According to the official post over at the Windows Team Blog, this has been largely done for the upcoming release of the Windows 8 operating system.
It needs to be noted that the update is listed as beta in the client. Most SkyDrive users are still waiting for a selective sync option that would allow them to select the folders that they want to sync on client PCs.
Have you tried the SkyDrive desktop app? If so, what's your take on it?

Are these articles AI generated?
Now the duplicates are more obvious.
This is below AI generated crap. It is copy of Microsoft Help website article without any relevant supporting text. Anyway you can find this information on many pages.
Yes, but why post the exact same article under a different title twice on the same day (19 march 2023), by two different writers?
1.) Excel Keyboard Shortcuts by Trevor Monteiro.
2.) 70+ Excel Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows by Priyanka Monteiro
Why oh why?
Yeah. Tell me more about “Priyanka Monteiro”. I’m dying to know. Indian-Portuguese bot ?
Probably they will announce that the taskbar will be placed at top, right or left, at your will.
Special event by they is a special crap for us.
If it’s Microsoft, don’t buy it.
Better brands at better prices elsewhere.
All new articles have zero count comments. :S
WTF? So, If I add one photo to 5 albums, will it count 5x on my storage?
It does not make any sense… on google photos, we can add photo to multiple albums, and it does not generate any additional space usage
I have O365 until end of this year, mostly for onedrive and probably will jump into google one
Photo storage must be kept free because customers chose gadgets just for photos and photos only.
What a nonsense. Does it mean that albums are de facto folders with copies of our pictures?
Sounds exactly like the poor coding Microsoft is known for in non-critical areas i.e. non Windows Core/Office Core.
I imagine a manager gave an employee the task to create the album feature with hardly any time so they just copied the folder feature with some cosmetic changes.
And now that they discovered what poor management results in do they go back and do the album feature properly?
Nope, just charge the customer twice.
Sounds like a go-getter that needs to be promoted for increasing sales and managing underlings “efficiently”, said the next layer of middle management.
When will those comments get fixed? Was every editor here replaced by AI and no one even works on this site?
Instead of a software company, Microsoft is now a fraud company.
For me this is proof that Microsoft has a back-door option into all accounts in their cloud.
quote “…… as the MSA key allowed the hacker group access to virtually any cloud account at Microsoft…..”
unquote
so this MSA key which is available to MS officers can give access to all accounts in MS cloud.This is the backdoor that MS has into the cloud accounts. Lucky I never got any relevant files of mine in their (MS) cloud.
>”Now You: what is your theory?”
That someone handed an employee a briefcase full of cash and the employee allowed them access to all their accounts and systems.
Anything that requires 5-10 different coincidences to happen is highly unlikely. Occam’s razor.
Good reason to never login to your precious machine with a Microsoft a/c a.k.a. as the cloud.
The GAFAM are always very careless about our software automatically sending to them telemetry and crash dumps in our backs. It’s a reminder not to send them anything when it’s possible to opt out, and not to opt in, considering what they may contain. And there is irony in this carelessness biting them back, even if in that case they show that they are much more cautious when it’s their own data that is at stake.
