they are uploading

add another user to a SharePoint group

Editor's Notes
CloudShare
Anytime you sync a SharePoint site for offline you use “SkyDrive Pro”Anytime you use your personal live account you use “SkyDrive”
If SkyDrive is the most confusing then Tasks is the most awesome

1)What does “owner” mean?What can a owner do that a contributor can’t?2)Who can see these documents?How can I be sure?Can you run a report for me?3)As IT, we typically create groups and train the users where to put new users but they only do what they are told. They rarely understand why and almost never understand the underlying permission model.4)You can only request access if you have no access at allNot obvious way to ask for additional access
