Upload files to a public skydrive link

Question

I see that the SkyDrive API provides methods for uploading files from an application to the SkyDrive account of an authenticated user. What I would like to do is to upload a file from my application to a SkyDrive folder, for which I have only the edit link and no user information. However, I can not find any method providing this in the SkyDrive API.

Am I missing anything in the SkyDrive API? Is something like this achievable through a different approach?

Answer 1

That is not possible.

If you are going to put files in a Skydrive account, you need to authenticate yourself -- either as the owner of the account, or as a user who has full access rights to the folder.
