Is it possible to use SkyDrive on Windows 8.1 without using a cloud account?
I tried switching to a cloud account but it screwed up authentication between my PCs as they rely on identical user names and passwords on each device.

What do you mean by a 'cloud' account? It needs a microsoft account logged into it for it to upload the files iirc. I made my microsoft account with my gmail email though.– AaronCommented Dec 29, 2013 at 22:14

A cloud account is an account in the cloud, in this case a Microsoft account. Mine is @hotmail.com.– Andrew J. BrehmCommented Dec 29, 2013 at 22:31

So you had the same username on more than 1 PC in the house and they stayed in sync until you switch to a cloud account on one of them?– AaronCommented Dec 29, 2013 at 22:37

Please give more information. Like what do you want to do and whats the problem. If it screwed the authentication why don't you log in in all your PC's with the cloud account ?– DevidCommented Dec 29, 2013 at 23:08

Why the downvote? The question is relevant, clear (it got a a correct answer quickly) and contains all relevant information. (Why I don't want to switch all my PCs to a cloud account is not relevant to the question!)– Andrew J. BrehmCommented Dec 30, 2013 at 9:12

1This didn't work for me. Says can't connect to Skydrive, but the password is definitely correct. I'm worried this is a phishing attempt Commented Jun 11, 2014 at 0:58

It is working fine for me. I got synchronized my account. They don't support two phase authentication, it could be the reason of your connection problem.– Oleg SCommented Sep 4, 2014 at 19:23
