Live Messenger contact cards & Live Skydrive.

    Live Messenger contact cards & Live Skydrive.

    I uploaded about 4 word documents to a folder and set the permissions to just
    me. I noticed in my contact card that I could see these documents only and
    can download them which is fine.



    My question is can my Messenger contacts see my documents I've uploaded if
    they look at my contact info or contact card?

    Even if I just set the permissions to myself in Skydrive? There's no way to
    change in that. I really don't want to set up another account for personal
    storage.

    I may have sent this post twice if I have I'm sorry but as long as files are
    stored in the folders marked Personal Folders - Folders just for you with the
    locks on the Messenger Contacts shouldn't be able to see them in the Contact
    cards?

    Hi Mike,

    Yep, it observes permissions. Although you'll see all your files in your own contact card,
    others don't.

    Re: Live Messenger contact cards & Live Skydrive.

    So just to verify one more time I can put upload documents and permissions
    set to me only (the locked folders) and they other messenger contacts won't
    see them? They will just see the shared documents that I set for them?

    Re: Live Messenger contact cards & Live Skydrive.

    Hi Mike,

    Well it only shows the public ones. If you set up a specific folder for certain people, they
    won't see it on the contact card (even if they have permissions to see it).
