I have folders with documents all over my hard drive, some which I would like to include in SkyDrive without moving them into the SkyDrive folder.
E.g. my SkyDrive folder is in C:\Users\Name\SkyDrive
, but I have some files in C:\Users\Name\SyncMePlz
that I also would like to be synced with SkyDrive so that I can reach them from other devices.
How can this be achieved?

This can be achieved with a Symbolic Link.
What is needed is a symbolic link from inside the SkyDrive folder to the folder you want to sync. This works with both hard (/J) and soft (/D) symbolic links.
Create a symlink by writing:
Example
name-of-new-folder
(orTest
in the example) will be the name of the folder in which the documents will be synced.After doing this I now have a folder named Test in my SkyDrive folder that contains all the files in the SyncMePlz folder. And changing any file, adding a file etc. in SyncMePlz will automatically be updated and synced in the Test folder in SkyDrive across your devices.
