This helps the users to directly upload the files and data on to the cloud. Sky Drive is one of the best cloud storage server over the internet.
But some the users have not like this features of Microsoft and they want to remove the Sky Drive from the system. As it is pre-installed on the Windows 8.1, hence users cannot uninstall it from the system.
But Microsoft have give the solution of this issue in the post of there official support forum. The company has explained in a short post on the official support forums that SkyDrive integration in Windows 8.1 Preview can be disabled by following a few simple steps.
