Skydrive Shared Folder

[goo...@toogood.me.uk]

I've recently discovered the joys of Skydrive and have been encouraging the rest of the family to sign up so that we can share stuff. First off I created and folder then added a couple of photo's. I then invited my wife to share. She received an email and when she clicked on the link could view the shared folder. The problem is that if she then looked under the "Shared" tab it was empty. I then did it the other way around and created a shared folder in my wife's Skydrive and shared it with myself and it all worked as expected i.e. the folder appeared under the "Shared" tab. So why am I having problems sharing from my Skydrive account.

UPDATE 1

OK, I've repeated the exercise using a different PC to log into Skydrive and create a shared folder just in case there was something funny going on, the results were exactly the same.

My wife gets the email informing her that a folder has been shared with her, she can click on the link and see the folder and files in her Skydrive account but if she selects the "Shared" tab it says that "there are no documents or folders being shared with you",!

In a nut shell. My wife creates a folder and shares it with me everything works fine. I create a folder and share it with my wife nothing appears in the Shared tab. Even though if she follows the email link she can view the folder and files!!!!

UPDATE 2

I've shared with some more friends and family, same result, they can all see the content if they follow the link in the email notification but in the Shared folder it says "nothing being shared".

If they share with me it works fine.

So it's got to have something to do with my Skydrive account correct ?????


Thanks and regards.
