YouвЂ™ll see this when it asks you to verify which library you want to sync. SkyDrive Pro, while being your MySite Documents library, is also the name of the technology that syncs SharePoint 2013 to your desktop. When you click it the sync process is started. If you have the Office 2013 clients installed youвЂ™ll see a вЂњSyncвЂќ button underneath your name in the upper right. Like SkyDrive you can sync the contents to your local file system.

WeвЂ™ve covered (three times now) that SkyDrive Pro is just a fancy name for your MySites Documents folder. Grrr! If you click the SkyDrive link, it doesnвЂ™t take you to SkyDrive, but it takes you to Documents library in your MySite, as thatвЂ™s all SkyDrive Pro is. For maximum confusion, the link to SkyDrive Pro is in the upper right is SkyDrive ,no Pro. This is a screenshot from an on-premises SharePoint 2013 installation. If youвЂ™re using SharePoint Server (as opposed to Foundation) and the User Profile Service is installed, configured, and working (that can be a stretch sometimes) youвЂ™ll see a link to SkyDrive Pro at the top of the ribbon, like this: Now, letвЂ™s look at where SkyDrive Pro shows up in SharePoint 2013. ThatвЂ™s the short story, SkyDrive Pro just a marketing name, nothing more. SkyDrive Pro is just a fancy name for the Documents library in your MySite. The idea they were trying to relay was that SkyDrive Pro was a way to store files, in the cloud, on a server, like SkyDrive, but itвЂ™s not on MicrosoftвЂ™s servers, it is on your own. The вЂњSkyDriveвЂќ part of SkyDrive Pro is simply a marketing term, nothing else. SkyDrive Pro has absolutely nothing to do with SkyDrive, MicrosoftвЂ™s cloud storage system. Then weвЂ™ll get to the gritty details and pretty pictures. LetвЂ™s start with the вЂњToo long, didnвЂ™t readвЂќ part. In this blog post I hope to clear up what SkyDrive Pro is, and what, if anything, it has to do with the other Microsoft product, SkyDrive. One of the exciting new features of SharePoint 2013 is a feature called вЂњSkyDrive Pro.вЂќ This new feature has probably created as much confusion as excitement. Edit: In January of 2014 SkyDrive and SkyDrive Pro were renamed to OneDrive and OneDrive for business.
