Is the new deeper SkyDrive integration in Windows 8.1 suitable for syncing large files that have small changes applied to them often? (VM images)

Question

Is the new deeper SkyDrive integration in Windows 8.1 suitable for syncing large files that have small changes applied to them often?

I am thinking about VM images or TrueCrypt volumes.

This would obviously require delta sync. No one wants to upload the whole disk image when a few bytes change. SkyDrive did not support delta sync before. Does it support this scenario now?

Answer 1

I highly doubt that it supports delta sync. However, according to their FAQ you can't upload a file larger than 2GB to SkyDrive. Most VM images are probably going to be much larger than that.

UPDATE: Also, according to this post in the SkyDrive forums, TrueCrypt does not work with SkyDrive. You could manually upload the TrueCrypt container whenever it changes, but that obviously is not ideal.
