Hi,
Now that Skydrive Pro has been officially released, is there any further documentation available, apart from the "day in the life of..." blog post?
I'm trying to understand in a little detail how it works. I have installed Office 2013 and am using SDP to sync some Sharepoint 2010 libraries. This works very happily when online, however when "offline" I have some problems. I'm hoping to deploy this to solve a nagging issue that some users have with not having a decent "corporate" file syncing mechanism but can't do it until I resolve the key scenario:
1. When I have a valid internet connection, Skydrive tries to connect to SharePoint. This is reasonable, but doesn't help with the scenario where I'm out of office without VPN. I would have hoped that Skydrive would understand that the server is not available and gone into some kind of "offline" mode. Instead when I try to open documents from the synced folder, it returns an error because http://mysharepointserver.com is not available. Is there a way around this?
2. Similar scenario when saving a new document to a synced folder in the "connected/disconnected" mode from 1.
3. Is there a way of managing/setting "offline" and "online"? Otherwise I can see my users getting confused/unhappy with the "failed to upload" mechanism in the Sync centre applet..
I know that MS's (and my) ideal solution is to get "Direct Access" going for remote working but we are a little way away from being able to implement this. Some more detail on how Skydrive actually works would be great...
thanks,
Steve.
