    Hi Nicholas,

    The Windows RT platform is like the Apple iPad platform, where apps can only come from the App Store only (you can't download things directly from the Internet on iPads or RT tablets).

    To find apps for your RT system, open the Windows Store app.

    Nope, the SkyDrive app itself will never do that.  If you want to do that you would need Microsoft Office for Android from the Google store.

    Or you could use a Windows tablet/phone, which has this built-in.
