2.Navigate to a picture or folder that you want to upload.

3.Select what you want to upload to SkyDrive by swiping down on pictures or folders.

4.Open the Share charm, and then tap or click SkyDrive.

5.Tap or click the folder you want to upload your picture or pictures to.

6.Tap or click Upload.

Of course you can also use the SkyDrive app to upload files. Open the SkyDrive app, then swipe down from the top edge of the screen to see the app commands (including Upload and Download).

Share photos or videos on SkyDrive

With SkyDrive, it’s easy to share files securely and easily with your friends or coworkers. They won’t need to install any special programs or sign up for a new account, and they can use any web browser to get to the files you share with them. And you have control—your files will only be shared with the people you choose.
