Office Documents Stuck Syncing in SkyDrive

15 Jul 2013

Recently sync operations to SkyDrive seemed to have stopped working with Office documents. Excel and Word files seemed to be 'stuck', and just wouldn't sync back to the cloud for me at all. Luckily, this was an easy one to fix:

1. Right click on SkyDrive
2. Select Settings
3. Uncheck Use Office to sync files faster and work on files with other people at the same time
4. Click OK
5. Restart SkyDrive
