Major new release. Now supports iPad and is very accessible. A ton easier to use than dropbox. What's New in Version 2.0 • Updated to support iPad, including the new iPad with Retina display. • Choose multiple photos or videos to upload from your iPhone or iPad. • Share your files and photos—send a link in email or get a link you can copy and paste. • Manage your files—move, delete, rename, or create new folders. • Open your SkyDrive files in other iOS apps.

Hi all.

I have recently started using one drive and am not sure how to upload files to it. Whenever i click “copy to one drive” fro Pages, for example, it just takes me to the file. When i add a file and go to the “upload” bit in the app itself, i click on the file i want to upload and it just says the name of the file. Nothing else happens. I did upload a file about a month ago, but cannot for the life of me remember how i did it.

Many thanks for all your help with this.
