Get to your files from anywhere
When your files are on SkyDrive, you can get to them from any device. You can go to SkyDrive.com or use one of
the SkyDrive mobile apps.
Save and open files
You can work with SkyDrive files from the apps you use. When you choose to open or save files from an app, you
can choose SkyDrive as the location (if it isn’t already selected). If you don’t want to save to SkyDrive, tap the
arrow to switch to This PC.
Use SkyDrive to share files
With SkyDrive, it’s easy to share files securely and easily with your friends or coworkers. They won’t need to install
any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use any web browser to get to the files you
share with them.
You can use SkyDrive to share photos, Office docs, and other files with people. Here's how:
1. Open the SkyDrive app and select the files that you want to share. (Swipe down on a file or folder to
select it.)
2. Open the Share charm, and then decide how you want to share:
By email. Choose Mail.
On a social network. Choose People, then choose a social network.
To learn more about sharing files, see Share files and photos on Windows.com.
SkyDrive desktop app
You can also install a SkyDrive desktop app if you’d like (Get the free app). To learn more, see SkyDrive desktop
app on Windows.com.
