Have asked this a couple of times, so apologies if repeat. I wish to use my Microsoft Skydrive account as my off-site back up. However, FFS seems not able to be able to mirror to Skydrive at the moment. One of the competition (CrashPlan) is said to be able to do it, but I would rather use FFS. Is it currently possible? How? If not, can it be included as a feature. Thanks

Thanks MHawk - have posted to feature request.
Also SRJ - your link to mapping skydrive from Windows 7 looks useful. But for Windows 8 the better link is

This works well and maps my skydrive folder in File Explorer. FFS is able to sync my data partition to this but is extremely slow (many days), though my connection should be reasonably fast. Maybe I will try again after a reboot. I thought I might use Briefcase as an alternative, but skydrive doesn't seem to like it and turns my briefcases into normal folders.
