In fact, SkyDrive pro is the replacement
of the SharePoint 2010 ‘Workspace’ and it also integrates very well with Windows Explorer.
That being said, SkyDrive Pro should also be able to sync SharePoint 2010 Document Libraries.
But for one or another reason, the current build of SkyDrive Pro had some
problems to keep my SharePoint 2010 content synced.
I did a rename of my SharePoint folder
located in my user directory, but that’s something SkyDrive Pro doesn’t really
like (at least on my machine). The error I got was “An error occurred while attempting to
synchronize this tool.”
It seems like it is indeed a bug with the current
build of SkyDrive Pro. As for now, the only solution is to clear the SkyDrive Pro cache,
and re-sync your library. So you
will lose all settings. To clear your cache, close all your Office processes
like groove.exe (which is SkyDrive Pro),
msouc.exe, msosync.exe, office library sync,…
Browse to “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\Spw”
and delete all the content. (you will see that this is all related to groove
and spw = SharePoint Workspace). Next, go to “C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\OfficeFileCache”
and also delete all content from this folder. This is where all the caching
from your files are stored.
After you deleted everything, you
should be able to start SkyDrive Pro again (using “C:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Office15\GROOVE.EXE“). You can now start configuring
your clean environment. Good luck!
