John, that is very odd! I presume both Projects are in the Family Historian Projects folder within the SkyDrive folder on both PC. So on both PC the Tools > Work with External File Links lists all the File Links correctly without any large X against any of them? Please confirm. In both cases the File Links list should start with Project Data Folder - Media Where & how are the media files not showing, and what is showing instead? Are you looking on Multimedia tabs or in the Multimedia Window or the Multimedia Record Property Box? Are the media files marked as "Available offline" or "Online-only" in File Explorer? If "Online-only" then maybe FH cannot see them as they only exist in SkyDrive and not on disk.

The problem I have is that on the 2nd computer none of the media files are showing, the media files are in the download folder, when I make a check on the Work with External File Links all the files are showing to be linked correctly and when checking against the main computer with Work with External File Links they are the same on both computers. Has some kind soul got an answer to this problem. John

It appears to me a problem with SkyDrive.
