Ever since I installed Office 2013 today (or maybe before, but if so I hadn't noticed it), when I right-click on a file I see a (greyed out) option for "SkyDrive Pro." Have any of you noticed this? any idea what it could be for (or how I could enable it?)

Saw this, too. Thought it was maybe from the new Sky-Drive client update, but Office 2013 would make sense since I installed it, too.

I saw that too. I'm not certain what it does. It's greyed out here too.

When you install Office 2013 with the standalone installer, and do a custom install, there is a component called "Skydrive Pro" included.

Woahhh! It's in Win7 too! Very neat

I think if it's from the new client it might be because they're going to brand the Desktop SkyDrive app as SkyDrive Pro (as they did with the Surface Pro and Windows 8 Pro), and the Metro one as just "SkyDrive"...or if it's from Office it could be the new version of SharePoint Workspace.

update: CONFIRMED. "SkyDrive Pro" is in reference to SharePoint for Office365. see attached pic (in the image, the "Office365 Sharepoint" logo is the same as the one in the right-click menu). Might this be the first sign of a rebranding from SharePoint to SkyDrive Pro?

Yeah, I noticed it too as soon as I installed the new Office preview.

How can i remove that context menu?

[dgray512]

To remove the context menu delete the following registry key:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFilesystemObjects\shell\SPFS.ContextMenu

Enable it with this

Careful, though. There was one time when I deleted this and it messed up syncing to my SkyDrive. You can just add a string and name it 'Extended' so that it will only be seen when Shift+Right clicking.

Correct, it's there for syncing Sharepoint storage to the local PC. All works seamlessly too!
