For many years, the digital divide between Apple and Windows ecosystems tempted users to believe interoperability was a complex, unreliable affair, with Apple’s proprietary cloud services seemingly designed for a seamless experience only on macOS and iOS. Yet today’s reality is a testament to...

So I understand that SKYDRIVE makes it easy to access your documents or pictures from different devices. Can it be used, in essence, as a external hard-drive <per se> to back up your pictures and important documents? I'm not quite understanding how it works. I think it works like a dropbox...
Most of the changes in this update aren't really visible. Millions of people depend on SkyDrive to automatically sync files, so as with most updates, this one improves performance, reliability, and compatibility of SkyDrive.
You can see some of the changes here: Update to the SkyDrive desktop...

I want to backup my data on an external harddrive. I would like to use the function ROBOCOPY in the command windows because then i don't have to third party program running all the time. But the copying...
Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but every time I try to sync to a device, whether it be an SD card, an MP3 player, or even just a random flash drive, Windows Media Player seems to refuse to convert any of the files... It manages to copy the files that don't need conversion, but the files that...
