Person A shared a folder with person B. Person B can access folder under Shared tab on SkyDrive.com. Person B installs SkyDrive for PC. Folder is not present on the PC SkyDrive folder on PC. How does person B get the shared folder from Person A on the SkyDrive folder on PC?

that's the biggest drawback to SkyDrive for PC - it doesn't handle shared folders at all.

I'd suggest you send them a feature request at the feature request link:

If we can get enough people to ask MS, surely it'll speed things up!
