Windows 8.1 + Corporate Domain Account + Personal SkyDrive Is it possible

onedrivewindows 8

I have on my personal computer windows 8.1, It has 2 accounts one is a personal live account hooked up with windows 8 and skydrive.

The second one is an account through my companies domain. Now I want to add skydrive support to this second account but I want it to be the same one as my personal account.

Is this possible?

Best Answer

Each Skydrive account is tied to a single MS account. You can share files and such with others, and access the SkyDrive.com site from wherever, but not log into the actual SkyDrive account with multiple MS user accounts (especially when dealing with the Windows 8.1 integrated version).

From Windows 8 SkyDrive: FAQ:

Do I have to sign in to my PC with a Microsoft account to use SkyDrive?

Yes, you need to sign in with a Microsoft account to browse your SkyDrive and keep your files and settings in sync. If you sign in with a local account, you can only use the SkyDrive app to browse your PC. To browse your SkyDrive files, you'll need to go to SkyDrive.com.

and

Can I sign in with a different account to browse a different SkyDrive?

You can't switch between accounts in the SkyDrive app. When you sign in to a PC with your Microsoft account, you're automatically signed in to SkyDrive with that account. You can still get to SkyDrive files for a different account by going to SkyDrive.com.
